Overheard from this week's Scamper rehearsal:
"Goo. Gooo ga ga burp."
No, it wasn't Nate and Keith making dreamy eyes at each other (as usual) - it was a special guest appearance from little baby Jason Raymond Michel.
Since our resident little drummer boy had to work, we three remaining Scamperinos had a acoustic vocal rehearsal at Keith's house. For big softies like us, that usually means about 10 minutes of actual rehearsal and about 3 hours of "play with the baby" time. To combat this, Keith decided to place his progeny in the middle of our rehearsal, so we could coo and awww at the baby and still manage to get some work done. A few things I noticed:
- It's amazing how many of Nate's lyrics are about babies.
- When he isn't sure what's going on, Jason involuntarily raises his eyebrow, a la The Rock. He could have a future in professional wrestling/mediocre action movies.
- He was quiet and attentive when we were playing the song. After the song was over and we were talking, he'd start crying. Then, he'd stop when we started playing again. Like father, like son - even at 3 months old, this little baby loves him the rock and roll.

And let's not forget the utter indifference he showed for our rendition of "Lucy," what with that "eh, whatever" sigh when we finished.
oh man..i definitely have to come visit again soon...
he is(not that he wasn't before..but just for the sake of announcement in such a public forum)..my FAVORITE BABY EVER(this will obviously evolve into "favorite little guy" ever and so on..)
Jason definitely enjoyed the performance. He's been humming Nate's new song ever since - he thinks it's about him.
He needs to read the lyrics more carefully.
He can't read. But when he hears "baby", he assumes it's him.
