A Drummin' Future

Everyone needs a hero. Someone to inspire them. 
Toby has AMC. He's a hero in his own right--no complaining, just hard work and diligence to complete whatever task he's gotten into his head. 
No tears of frustration.
Just a focus and plodding to DO IT.
One thing he really enjoys is a drumstick. Or a chopstick. Or a dart. Anything he can use to drum with on any surface he can find: coffee table, chair, open drawer.
"Mommy wook!" and then he drums like a madman.
No bending elbows? No problem.
My little man's got a beat!
This is from a meal out with some awesome AMC friends in Chinatown, Philadelphia. Tobster grabbed a chopstick and was going crazy. You can see that chopstick moving!! 

We started having a family worship time where we all grab an instrument and play and sing songs together. 
You guessed it: Toby grabs something to drum with.
...and he's good!
I recently saw this cool ditty on a man named Dean Zimmer who also has Arthrogyposis and is a drummer. Next to Toby, I think he's got some real potential! ;)



Love rhythm and AMC! Great combo!!
Toby, I think you can take this far!
