So you think YOU can dance?

Dancing has never been a big thing in our house. Last week, Scott was playing on the computer when I put the Beach Boys on (the greatest Christmas CD of all time). It usually requires several bribes and usually some tears and tantrums to get Scott off the computer, but as soon as he heard the music, he came running downstairs saying, "Wait, Mommy! I want to dance too!" Like that was what I was doing with out him - yeah, right. But Scott, Charlotte and I probably spent the next 45 minutes or so just gettin' down to the Beach Boys! And now it is sort of a daily ritual around 5pm as it gets dark and the lights turn on on our tree. Check out Scott and Charlotte's sweet moves:

And they also think the Singing Snowman at 13168 Grandma and Grandpa's house is pretty cool to dance to also:

And obviously this dancing talent runs in the family. Just check out my niece, Elle, as she goes crazy for the Dora song.

A Proud Moment

So Scott, Grandma and I were sitting on the couch the other day, and he burps. He knows to say "Excuse me", but naturally he thought it was hilarious and giggled and said a bunch of random stuff - anything OTHER than 'excuse me'. Being the diligent mom, trying to teach my son a lesson, I continued to pressure him on this. "You know what to say after you burp. Say it!" Then, a pause... And here is what came out of his mouth:

BUSTED!

Grandma couldn't stop giggling...

729 Baskets!

A few months ago, the City of Roseville Recreation department came out with their fall/winter catalog... I was SO excited because Scott is now old enough to try some of the little sports camps for tots. In September he did t-ball. It was once a week for 4 weeks. I'm pretty sure I was more excited about it than he was. He was clearly NOT interested in listening to Coach Sarah or following her instructions. The playground and slides at the other end of the park and kicking dirt were way more exciting. But I will say that the highlight for Scott was running the bases, because each of the bases had a number. As a matter of fact, he threw a minor tantrum when we had to stop running bases and move onto hitting our first week.

Then in October, we are doing basketball. I think he is a little more into it this time. Still, listening to Coach Sarah and following instructions are not his strong points, but by week 4, he did make noticeable progress. I guess that's all I can hope for at 3! And he has been keeping track of all the baskets he has made at home and at practice. I think when this video was taken during week 3, he was up to seven hundred and something. Silly kid...
