Amelia is Iron Man

Our family received many terrific gifts this year. One of the best (a gift from daddy to mommy) is a Play Station game complete with Guitar Hero. Both Mike and I have been having a lot of fun practicing our rock-and-roll guitar skills and Mike has been working especially hard on perfecting "Iron Man" at all levels of difficulty.

I don't know why I found this surprising, but the other night I heard a soft voice singing along with Ozzy as I practiced my easy version of Iron Man. Sure enough Amelia has heard Iron Man enough times to know some of the lyrics.

In fact, Amelia has a real talent for learning song lyrics - which means that we'll have to carefully monitor the tunes we play around the house and in the car. Still, I'm proud of my daughter: the one-year-old girl who correctly identified AC/DC when she heard it on the radio. And I get a real kick when Amelia says, as she did when we powered up Guitar Hero last night, "Rock and Roll!"
