Nothing like the wiggles to perk up the afternoon.I too love to go dancing and never thought how simple it is to just turn on the radio and have free as you like dance off with my kids.W henever the kids would come home from an access visit they would know all these old songs and dance moves and i found out that daddy had them dancing to "abba" so i say let your hair down, turn up the volume and go for it.

Yes, it's good to be silly! My husband and I are silly people and so we are very silly with Matthew. It encourages imagination, so we should all definitely do it. And music, well... everything about music is great for children. I love to sing (alone of course) and when I was pregnant, I sang a lot. I sang along with the Broadway show CDs I have, and often times sang while driving. When Matthew was only a couple of weeks old and wouldn't sleep one day, I sang to him. I sang Old McDonald with a silly voice and he cried louder! Then I sang Twinkle Little Star with a normal voice and he quited down. It was amazing!

Matthew is just now experimenting with dancing. I can't wait to be silly and dance and just run around with the music with him.
