Dance Dance Dance

One of our favorite past times, other than staring blankly at Mickey Mouse, is dancing. The boys cannot get enough of it. They dance to everything - the music on Disney shows, country, pop; they really have very varied and sophisticated tastes in music. Chris has even started singing "Imma Be" by the Black Eyed Peas himself and dancing in circles to it. At first I thought he was singing "mama mama mama" but I was wrong, it's definitely"Imma Imma Imma". 


This brings me to Sunday night's big event - the Grammy's. I have now watched every performance from the Grammy's at least 4 times. And I have watched the muppet filled Cee Lo Green and Gwenneth Paltrow performance of 'Forget You' approximately 9000 times (good thing I love this song. And Gwenny Paltrow).  Not only does it involve a song to dance to, but the muppets and brightly colored costume Mr. Green himself is wearing (what is that by the way? The child of Big Bird and a peacock? I'm still really confused here). 


Their second favorite performance is one Miss Katy Perry. Strike that, Mrs. Katy Perry Brand. Did you hear that? That was the sound of my childrens' hearts breaking, because they are hopelessly in love with her. One time they even stared at a Pro Active commercial when she was in it. Its probably the only performance they don't dance to, because they are too busy staring at her in awe. Its cute, but not really the first crush I would pick for them (but Isabella from Phineas and Ferb is running in a close second, I'm not allowed to sing when she sings during the tv show either).


So maybe we don't jam out to Beethoven or the good, brain powering classical music, but we are jamming. And I would say we probably dance a solid hour or 2 on any given day. I also think this will be my excuse for buying Just Dance for our Wii - we can all dance together. Seems like the perfect mommy and me activity to me! We can sing and dance! And get scored on it - just to bring out that little competitive edge in them.
