Music

Christopher has become very musical lately. He will ask for the music to be turned on by pointing at the radio and "dancing". His latest dance involves lifting each foot up, and very deliberatly stomping it down while sort of swaying to the music. If you don't turn on the music when he wants it- watch out!
Daddy has made up his own Christopher song from Hippy, Hippy, Hipopantomos (sp?)
He got a set of instruments for his birthday and now we have gotten him some additional ones from Do-Re-Me and You. Of course I couldn't bear all the "music" that would be played all day by the daycare kids (most likely by beating another child over the head with the drum sticks- yikes!!), so Christopher has to wait until they all go home to play with them. He asks for them on a regular basis by pointing and uh, uh, uh until we get them down for him. (We do occasionally use them during daycare- under very, very close supervision) He is sitting on the floor right now making music for mommy.
He also loves to dance to the Lauri Berkner Music Videos. (AKA "Dance Bee's" by the daycare kids) He gets so excited when it comes on and has started to imitate the moves they use, I think the dinosaurs stomping song is where he got his moves. Although "turning around" to another song is a big fun thing for him.
