So, I think that Dylan is going to be a musician.
Here is a video of him and his classroom performing a mini-skit/play called, "Inventive Minds". One class did all of the acting (Dylan's class) and the other class did the majority of the singing (Trey's class). It was great. They were totally into the fact that we have to use our brains to think and that is how we've been able to enjoy great inventions such as rollerblades, refrigerators and microwaves.
Dylan strikes me as a kid who likes to perform for others. When asked what he'd like to do when he grows up, a job that has recently stuck over the past year is "giving puppet shows to poor people for free" (do I start crushing his dreams now or later?). Throughout their play, whenever there was singing he was rocking back and forth, totally into what he was singing about.
He has held firm to the idea that passing up a year of strings (they start in 4th grade in WI) is best in order to re-commit himself to drumming and being a part of a band. Him and Trey have already named their band "The Never Quitting Brother Band" (catchy hunh?) It's great to hear them talk about it; it seems that all/most boys consider "rockin' out" at some point. So we'll see how far they go. I hope that he'll get to a place where he could play for the church band at some point.
It'll be so interesting to see how many years from now "spots" like this one will have to do with his choices his makes in how to display the talents that God has given him. I hope that whatever it is, Dylan will give his best to God and allow the light of Christ to shine from within him.
