The Next American Idol

Not only does Griffin love music, but he has evolved into quite a singer. He sings around the house constantly. Sometimes his singing is for his own pure enjoyment and other times it is purely to annoy the hell out of his brothers. But sing, he does, day in and day out.

But as Griffin is our third child, the music he knows is not the music of of most four year old children, the likes of Dan Zanes and Laurie Berkner. No, Griffin's music is my music. And this makes for some very funny four year old singing.

I have already mentioned his love for Gaga, especially Born this Way. I don't think Chris has yet recovered from hearing Griffin sing "Don't be a drag, just be a queen" around the house. It has provided my cousins with endless delight to hear G belt out some Gaga.

This morning Griffin and I were the first ones up in the house. Griffin excused himself from breakfast to go to the bathroom. He shut the bathroom door and promptly got down to business. Through the shut door, I heard him humming and then he launched into a full scale performance of "Teenage Dream."

I am not sure that Chris is ready to hear his four year old singing "Let's go all the way tonight. No regrets. Just love." But sing he did. I just hope he isn't singing it for his preschool buddies at school today.
