Music & Dancing

My kids love music. And they also love to dance. They usually start dancing whenever they hear music. In fact, a couple weeks ago when we drove to California for my nephew's baptism, we discovered that to keep Caleb happy during the long ride, music needed to be playing. It was so funny watching him rock out in his carseat!

I love that they both love music. Growing up (jr. high through college), music was my life. I feel music is so important to be involved in. Before I had kids, I knew I was going to get my kids into music, no questions asked. And I still feel that way. It's that important to me.

Anyway, that is not the point of this post! So, one of Ella's favorite shows is Angelina Ballerina. I think it is a cute show (and much less obnoxious than Caillou, which I ended up banning in this house because Ella was starting to becoming whiny like him). And she has learned a lot from it! Mostly dance moves, of course! She even knows what a pirouette is and will perform one if asked.

Caleb is around when she watches this show and he sees her doing her dancing, so he has even started picking up some moves (well, one move). He also has this drum that plays a few songs from The Wiggles that he has claimed. This is what happens when he plays it!



And here is Ella joining in on the action! Watch for her pirouette! And please excuse how they are dressed (or not dressed).
