Nathan has been taking guitar lessons for the past year. At the end of June, he had his first recital, playing Jason Mraz's song "I'm Yours." Nathan did not want to sing along while he played. We were shocked by this..... if you've spent more than 5 minutes with him in a car, you would know a) he knows the lyrics to every song on the radio, and b) he loves to sing along, usually loudly. Michael and I were dying to have him sing during his performance so we countered his refusal with "you don't have to sing, buuuut, if you do, you will earn a candy treat." He was sold. You'll notice in the video, however, that he changed his mind and starts playing without singing. Then a few seconds later, he makes a 180 and starts singing along. When we asked him why he finally decided to sing, he said it was because he didn't want his guitar teacher embarrassing him with her awful singing voice (his words, not mine). Guess we didn't need to bribe him with candy after all.... Here's a piece of his performance!
