Sparkly Show

We've added a new bit to the nighttime routine---dancing. Thanks to Daddy's iPod, we have an amazing collection of dance favorites. Since going to the Wiggles concert, I've discovered that dance concerts are even more exciting when the lights are dimmed and the performers have sparkly lights on them. Every night, we now have a concert in the guest bedroom. To do this, we turn off all the lights, shut the door, and then use my two light wands---one is fiber optic and spins around, the other has colorful strobing lights in a globe. Daddy and I like to dance around. We also have to have an audience for the show. Most of the time the audience consists of the stuffed animals who sit on the bed. Mommy sometimes joins them. For really exicting shows, we pick up a stuffed animal and let him dance on the "stage" with us. The stuffed animals really seem to like this.

We like to dance to mambo music by Tito Puente, fast songs by Paul McCartney, early Beatles stuff, lots of Beach Boys songs---especially the ones about California---and, the final song of every dance party, Yellow Submarine. I also like Lyle Lovett's song "That's Right You're Not from Texas" which is really fast and fun. Mommy is very impressed at all our energy.
