Friday Gillian’s school had their first ever Kindergarten Music Concert. The kids have been practicing for months. Gillian has been home singing songs for weeks now (check out the lion sleeps tonight).

We went out to dinner tonight. We sat next to the window and throughout the meal, John danced in his seat and watched his own reflection in the window. It took me a couple tries but I got it on video.
We watched The Mask for Daddy’s birthday on Saturday. John loved it. But Daddy was even happier when the kids all danced along to his favorite part, Cuban Pete.
We ate dinner outside tonight. While I was cleaning up, Daddy was playing some music for he kids. He motioned to me that I should check out Gillian. “Shake It Off” by Taylor Swift was playing. Gillian was dancing and singing into a straw microphone.
Last night we heard MKTO’s “Classic” in the car. Gillian had a couple of questions, “Who’s Michael? And why does he wanna kiss a prince?” I explained that Michael Jackson was a singer and Prince sings a song about kisses. Tonight at dinner I told Daddy “We need to include Michael Jackson and Prince in… Continue reading Music

Our day started early. John woke up and found me in the bathroom. He told me “I need to get handsome.” And he proceeded to comb his hair… Continue reading Kindergarten Graduation
Today was the baptism of Daddy’s cousin’s baby Riley. We went to the church to watch the baptism. The kids were well behaved, considering the fact that the priest was a little long winded. At some point, the priest said “Next we will anoint the babies with water.” Gillian heard that and said “I like… Continue reading Water, Baby and Dancing
A couple nights a week, we have a dance party for the kids. Basically, we just play some music for the kids and them them dance. John and Gillian love dance party nights.
