What's interesting is HOW he uses it. Not just as a "fun thing", but as a "I'm stressed" thing. If he's getting upset about something, he'll scream, then walk over to the piano, play a few notes, and go back to what he was doing, calmer. It's certainly easier for us to take than his screaming his head off, and it seems to help him.
He's also figuring out how to repeat simple (VERY simple) tunes on it, if you play the tune on the piano first. Impressive, considering a lot of adults can't master that!
(I'm also teaching him to point when he wants something instead of screaming. Right now he screams, then points, so I think he still needs work. I'm impressed, though. I distinctly remember being seven, eight years old and not able to point at things. I was stunned to find out that babies are expected to do that before they turn two!)
