Lola intended to get Dylan an ukelele for his 2nd birthday (I think!), but for some reason, only the case arrived, so that’s all we’ve had up until recently. I scored a fantastic deal on Amazon.com for a soprano ukelele at something like 43% off (and a few weeks ago, the librarian that leads pre-school story time informed us of the “true” pronunciation — she plays ukelele to the songs we sing — Dylan now pronounces the word correctly!).

Since Dylan’s cheap guitar broke a string and it’s so cheap you can’t really replace that string, he was thrilled to see the ukelele! The C chord is super simple–it requires just one finger on the fretboard, so I was able to easily teach it to Dylan. So, here he is practicing it. He’s really quite good…at playing the C chord! 😉

Oh, and, as you can see, he has no splint in this picture! He was freed of it just a couple of days earlier!
