Today we went to our third performance by Portland Taiko. "Taiko" is the Japanese word for drum, but also seems to specifically refer to this big drum, physical style of drumming. Last year, we could not make the children's matinee due to John's school schedule, so we went to a regular performance. This year, we made the children's matinee, and were thrilled to learn that children were invited onto the stage during the performance. Josh was one of the invitees, and happily accepted. The picture is dark, and we actually weren't supposed to take any so we only got this shot, but here is Josh on stage doing some Taiko drumming.
He was so cute. Also super cute was Luke, who we outfitted in Bose noise-cancelling headphones (John's) which were way too big but very cute on him. He wasn't bothered by the loud drums at all, and made it through almost the whole performance without so much as a peep.
