Still Dancing with Daddy

When Ellie was 8 or 9 months old, Jeremy began dancing a Special Dance with her to a Special Song: "Dancing with Daddy." She loved it, and would giggle and squeal with delight. Well, now at 23 months, Daddy and Ellie still dance this Special Dance together. She asks for it every single day (and sometimes about a billion times per day!). I love watching them do this little ritual!

Miss Sing-A-Lot...and we DO mean sings a lot!

Probably Ellie favorite thing to do is sing. She is constantly singing this or that. Below is her latest rendition of "The Wheels on the Bus." She actually requests this song every night for her lullaby (!). In the beginning of this clip she is in the middle of our modified-lullaby version that goes, "The Wheels on the Bus say 'Good night, Ellie'..."

My personal choice as highlights in this clip:
  • Toward the end, after she skips over a bunch of pages/verses, she belts out, "SINGIN' WHEELS ON THE BUS!"
  • The grand finale high note at the end.

Enjoy!
