A happy little guy!!

We've known for awhile that Nicholas loves his music!!! The cute, little, shake-your-bootie dance and head bobbing is still so cute, but now he's finally starting to really sing along to the music!! (Or at least prompt someone else to sing for him!!!) He's actually quite fond of quick little jingles from those crazy noise-making toys. His two favorite jingles are from toys we don't even own (our neighbor's Little People Fire Truck that is no longer being made with the same fun song and the Sesame Street baby crib mirror). Then, there's his new fascination with Nick, Jr.'s Wonder Pets, which is awfully cute!! I finally figured out why he loves Barney so much...it's the singing!! Nicholas will only give the TV his attention if there is singing involved!! And guess what?! 95% of Wonder Pets involves singing!!! After watching the show today, Nicholas ran around singing, "Teamwork!!!"

But, of course, my favorite is listening to him request songs from his various CDs!! "Hello Everybody!!!", "Who's that...knocking, knocking!!!", "La La La La...CHA CHA!!", "OoooOOooo... Walk! Walk!", "No, No, No...Yes, Yes, Yes...Maybe!!!", "Jimmy! Crack Corn!", "GTO! WAA, WAA!", "NINE!!! 7...8...NINE!" ...to name a few!! Woe to the person who cannot sing the requested song...for Nicholas's protests can be heard throughout the land!! But, if you can sing for him...that gorgeous smile is worth a million bucks!!! :o)

Side note...We haven't made much progress on singing our ABCs, but the association with diaper changing is still there...so I suppose I can understand how the song may not be his favorite!!
