We got a Spongebob uke for DD - she's 4 months!

Not unreasonable in the least. I have a hankering to learn the banjo.

VivaLaPotPourri · 14/12/2008 19:37

That is one talented 4 month old!

I've bought ds a ukulele (or should that be an ukulele?) a couple of weeks ago, early Christmas pressie, as he is doing a GCSE in music and needs to compose something.

He has a drum kit but said it's hard to compose something for the drums.

He's taught himself to play the ukulele in a short time,

YANBU. Go for it and have a bit of fun.

Oooh, I've bought DH a purple one for Christmas, DD(3) very confused and thinks I've bought him a cello! Don't think I'd be able to hide a cello in my knicker drawer!
