music and dance update

Junie loves the song "30,000 Pounds of Bananas" by Harry Chapin. Every night for the past two months June has asked to listen to this song. She gets on the bed in the guest room and jumps around frantically as the song picks up speed. She tires herself out, takes a brief break, and then asks for me to play it again. I'm a bit tired of the song, but I'm certainly not tired of Junie squealing as she listens to it.

She also loves the song "Read My Mind" by the Killers and the "green thing" in the video. She also likes the lion in the Killers video for "Human" and the "working things" in the Kaiser Chiefs video for "Ruby."

I haven't noticed any particular favorites of Jolee, but she is really starting to bounce around while music is playing.

To really point June and Jolee's dancing in the right direction, I have them watching a steady diet of Billy Preston and Nicholas Brothers videos. Seriously though, watch these videos, especially the Nicholas Brothers one. Incredible...
