First off, your kid's name is Axl!?
Secondly, whenever hitting things with their hands doesn't harm their growth anymore.
What a cool photo.
Yep, the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree, does it?
He will be ready to rock by 4 y.o. probably. Have you seen the kid who plays KISS songs?
Very cute! And that's exactly the right age to start!
.....But by age 12, they wanted me to take lessons, and I've continued on ever since. Those years before your 10 I think should just be fun exploration time. I can't tell you the number of kids I've met who hate music because mom and dad made them take lessons too soon, or when they weren't interested. So if I had a child, it'd be encouragement time until they told me they want to be serious about it.
Pshew, I was worried I had rushed things a little by starting at 43!
Awesome pic of your boy, you're going to have your hands full.
