I can dance – I can dance – then I’m gonna fill up my pants

My girl loves dancing at the moment. She hasn’t really got the whole twirling, jumping, scissor kick thing happening, it’s more like a bop. And a very cute bop at that!

Whenever we play some good old fashioned rock and roll (Rolling Stones, Led Zepplin, Jimi Hendrix) she bends her knees and waves her arms. She twirls herself around until she is dizzy and falls over in a fit of giggles.

She loves music with a strong backbeat. The Beatles are one of her favorites (Sgt Peppers). I am really trying to teach my daughter about music. I sang to her in the womb, we even put headphones on wifey’s belly! I think it’s an important part of life.

I like to dance around the lounge-room with her and when I do, she looks into my eyes and smiles at me with a look that would melt anyone’s heart. Her favorite instrument is a little piano that pops up different animals depending on the note you play. It annoys the hell out of me, but she gets joy from it and that’s all that matters.

Music brings so much happiness to so many people around the world every single day. Don’t miss out on this wonderful gift.

Note – If you’re wondering about the title this is what I sing to my little girl sometimes when she goes red in the face and looks like she’s about to go.
