I woke up early on Saturday morning and was eager to grab my guitar and start practicing. Unfortunately, my 9 month son woke up early with me and was even more eager to grab the guitar than I was.
He is able to pull himself up on my knee and reach the guitar with no problem, so I had to cut my practice short after only 10 minutes. I need to put a strap on my electric guitar and then use that when he is around and my wife is unable to take care of him. Otherwise I'm going to end up with a lot of interrupted practices.
Later in the day I had a chance to practice again. I was watching Gabriel again while Maria was taking care of some things around the house, so I went out to our front yard and put a blanket down in the grass and placed him on it. He doesn't like the feel of grass on his hands, so he was pretty much stuck on the blanket until I picked him up again. I was able to get in 18 minutes of D chord and picking practice before he became unhappy and we went back inside.
Total practice time for the day was 28 minutes. Not very good for a weekend, but my wife spent 8 hours decorating Easter cookies so I was in charge of Gabriel for almost the entire day.
