Crazy Monkey

We had borscht for lunch today because Keith is sick and I thought it would be good as a "lunch in bed" option.

The kids were having their second bowls and I was telling Emily about how my Grandma used to make this for me when I was little and, truthfully, I was a bit melancholy.

Then suddenly Cian starts off slowly and quietly from his chair "I...like...to...move it...move it."  It was difficult for me to understand at first until it continued.  "I like to move it move it. I like to move it move it. I like to <hands in the air> MOVE IT!"  Then while I was laughing hysterically about this I asked if he wanted me to play the song and he said "DANCE PARTY!!!!

"

He had not been listening to this song or watching this movie at all in the last several days but magically the kid knew exactly what to do to get his mom to laugh and come out of her melancholy state.  What a great kid.

I truly believe that the happiness of a home is directly proportional to the amount of kitchen dance parties they have.  Our cup overflows over here...in happiness and dance parties.  So if you're feeling a little blue today take a little tip from Cian....MOVE IT!!!!
