He is the greatest.
I tried to tell him his birth story yesterday picking him up from high school. He had a bit of a trapped child look. But I barreled on. He was born after a night they delayed his birth. I waited for the AM arrival of Dr.Alvarez. Luca had the umbilical cord around his neck, contractions stopped his heart. When I delivered, the moment I dilated to the correct amount I had one push to get him out safely. It was a very touchy thing as the contractions to dilate stopped his heart so this was an AM of debate and the Dr. made sure I was extremely hydrated and all in all there was a lot of tension. After lunch in one push he arrived a really lovely baby. He was an easy baby. A welcome one. Luca has been a marvelous son. Angel's fan by two! He loves Bret Favre, he was a die heart Greenbay fan but...it's leaning Vikings. Loves baseball, loves sport. He's a wrestler. Luca likes history. Especially learning from other's suffering in wars. He's a bit addicted to his XBox 360. He likes to skateboard. Luca has a great sense of humor, torments his sister Sophia and told me yesterday he loves Italian food. His grandmom spoils him and they love each other. And he's just recovering from a hateful flu.
We got Luca a Martin guitar as his present. He sort of allowed me to film him playing it. It really has a nice sound, this is a series of movies of his playing.
Sarah, thanks for sharing part of your son's birthday. After reading about all of his interests and talents, I've got to tell you I got a little choked up hearing him play House of the Rising Sun. You mean a kid with all these other talents does music, too? Don't know how long he's been playing, just saying...
ReplyDeleteI put him a little bit on the spot ten seconds after he got his guitar.
ReplyDeleteHe's left handed, just flips it over, doesn't even re-string like Hendrix.
One of his baby songs ....we keep on hoping for that one day rainbow.
I think music pretty much saves my son!
Thanks Mark! Hope all is well there.
Sarah, yeah, I noticed that non-restringing. Oh, what lefties have to put up with in this world. Best, and congrats on a great kid - Mark
ReplyDeleteThanks...I'm really glad we went ahead and got the guitar.
