Maybe we'll look back someday at these pics and say, "that's when it all started." No pressure, Alex. But if you wanted to be a great violin virtuoso, we're all behind ya.

We found this broken violin for 10 bucks at a garage sale. Alex loves to play with it. He sings along while he moves the "bow" back and forth across the strings.

In the third picture, he even pulled apart the soap container in the bathtub and starting playing that as if it were a violin. (When he says it, it sounds more like biowin - very cute).
