Coby Is Incredible!!!

As I mentioned a few days ago, Coby is now a member of the Raleigh Boy's Choir.  What we didn't know was the extent of his musical talent.  Today on the way home from school, I started singing a song that Coby learned in music class and that his class had performed a few weeks ago.  I was singing just for fun, no biggie.  Two notes into the song, Coby interjects:  "Mom!  You started the song on the wrong note.  The song starts on a 'G' and you started on a 'B'."  WH....WH....WHAT????!!!!!!  I thought he was joking, but no.  This kid of mine was serious!  We were on our way to my mom's house, where there is a piano.  I decided to do a little experiment.  When we got to my mom's, all of us went straight to the piano (so I'd have witnesses!). I told Coby to sing a 'G.'  He did.  I then played a 'G' on the piano.  Perfect.  Still not convinced, I told him to sing a 'C.'  Coby asked-"High or low??"  He sang a 'C,' then I played it.  Perfect again.  I challenged him next with an 'F.'  By then, the whole family is gathered around the piano, jaws touching the floor.  Sure enough, when I played it, we realized that again, he had gotten it spot on.  I'm stunned.  My child has perfect pitch.  What an amazing talent to have!  Now to find ways to take advantage of his talent!!!
