Baby Dance

So I found this DVD at the library called Baby Dance. And Kaiya LOVES it. My only criticism of the DVD is that it does not have the repeat play feature like many baby dvds. Because we watch this one over and over and over. And I really don't mind because she is not just sitting there vegging out. She's learning smokin' hot dance moves and working on coordination, creativity, etc.

Nanny kindly supplied us with all of the pieces we were missing to maximize Kaiya's dance moves. Every time we played the DVD Kaiya would point out to me that the little girls were wearing tu-tus. Then she would say her own name in the saddest voice possible. And I'd say, "No, Kaiya doesn't have a tu-tu." Thanks to Nanny -- she now has a tu-tu. I had given her a baby rattle for the maraca dance, but we now have the real thing. Warning -- 2 yr olds can be violent with maracas. Do not leave a 3 month old, 2 yr old and maracas in the same room unattended. (Just kidding -- it didn't happen, but she did accidentally whack me with one of those things and they are more dangerous than they look.)

We're still in need of a cowboy hat for the cowboy dance -- but she did learn how to say, "Yee-Haw!" She cracks us up doing it. I'll have to catch it on video before she outgrows it. Here are a couple pictures that Tony's mom took of her in action.

Sooooooo cute! You should get her into some local dance classes through the parks and rec center. She would have a blast! We have Abi through a dance/gymnastics center called "the little gym".

p.s. I think your dates are wrong on your camera ;o)
