Just yesterday I was watching TV with Cookie Monster. I know, you're supposed to limit the amount of tube time, but we just enjoying some cuddle time while it rained outside and the clouds passed by.
We were laying in my bed when his favorite show, "Mickey's Clubhouse," came on. Not only did he sing the theme song, but out of the corner of my eye I saw his arms moving about. He was doing the actions too. I just smiled and laughed so hard. I asked dad to come in. He laughed too as the entertainment continued. We've never had one of our munchkins sing as much independently. Dad on the other hand.... Maybe that's where Cookie Monster gets his talent.
He'll kill me for sharing this, but I came down the steps years ago (a couple of kids ago, 4 in fact) to find dad moving his arms in the air and singing to the "Wiggles" theme song. In his defense, he was not standing up dancing. He was sitting in the chair.
But, NO children were in the room with him! I haven't caught him doing that since. Maybe it's because The Wiggles are no longer on the air.
Hearing Cookie Monster sing the Mickey Mouse song is better than his other recent tunes:
-"Take Me Down to the Little White Church" -- this is not a Sunday morning singing tune
-"I'm Pretty Good at Drinking Beer" and
-""There's Always Something Going On Down in the Trailerhood."
Those songs would be compliments of the usual country stations we have playing at home. I, on the other hand (said with much boasting:), usually have KLOVE playing and from there he learned:
"My God Reigns."
Now, time to go teach him something new....
"Schlemiel, schlimazel, hasenpfeffer incorporated!"
