Jason’s Piano Performance

Today, Jason played the piano at the Rosehill Music Academy Student Show. He played “Party Song” and did great. We are very proud of him!

Jason Starting Piano Lessons

Over the summer Jason started taking piano lessons. He has been going once a week for half an hour and making some good progress.

Here is a video of Jason playing “My Invention.”

Jason’s Christmas Performance

We’re finally starting to get in the mood for Christmas. We picked out and decorated our tree two weeks ago. We did some shopping and Jason had the chance to meet Santa Clause and tell him what he wanted for Christmas- a choo-choo train and a small toy for Robert. (He later refined this to a yellow choo-choo train with a yellow track and a small train for Robert.)

Last night Jason and Mike built and decorated a gingerbread train.

Today, Mike and Hristina went to the holiday celebration at Jason’s school. Each class performed a different song, then we went back to his classroom to make a gingerbread man. After that, Jason visited with Santa and received a present.

Here is a video of Jason’s performance. The song is “Snow Miser.”

Jason, Trains, and Accidents

When Jason plays with his trains, he usually narrates what the trains are doing. Here is a five minute sequence of trains averting or making accidents.

Catch Me Daddy

This started off as a video of Robert, but ended up as a video of Jason…

Jason Playing with Trains

It’s been some time since we posted a video of Jason. For a while, every time we tried to take a video, he would want to hold the camera. Recently, when we start recording he runs away laughing.

The following are three attempts at making a video of Jason playing with trains. The last one concludes with Jason’s current favorite word, “Don’t!”

Mickey Mouse

Jason loves to watch videos of himself. I think he has watched Why Did? about a hundred times.

Today I took this five second video of him saying “Mickey Mouse,” which he has already watched over and over. I will post it to iJason for easier viewing.

Why Did?

When Jason did something bad, sometimes we used to say “Why did you do that?”

In the past few weeks he has been picking up a lot more words and phrases and this has become one of his favorite. Whenever he makes a mess or does something mischievous, he says “Why Did?”

Here is a video of him after he turned off my computer. He also recently had his second haircut.

Jason on the Phone with Mom

A new Jason video!

Jason is on the phone with Mom. Music is playing, so he is dancing. This is one of his favorite CDs.
