Tonight I was listening to some fun music on the computer (Pop Goes the World, by Men Without Hats to be exact). Maddie was standing there next to me, listening quite intently to the fun sounds and beats, when she said:
"This music is making my body dance".
The girl's a dancer, let me just say that. Her two favorite songs to dance to are 1) Taylor Swift's "Love Story" and 2) Spotlight from the Twilight soundtrack. We put those songs on (or any, really) and she just dances and dances and dances. She is quite the little dancer, with her moves totally in synch with the music. It's adorable, and funny to watch her so into it.
Maddie is an amazing girl who simply loves to sing and dance. She constantly makes up her own songs - I can't always understand the words, but I hear "Jesus", "Holy Spirit" and other words spread throughout. But she puts so much emotion and emphasis into her performances, it's impossible to not just sit there amazed. I wonder where she gets it...neither Melanie or I are terribly dramatic or musical. But she's just programmed that way.
Speaking of, I have an old Christmas CD in my car and she asks me to play "Where are you Christmas" from the Grinch movie. And the cool thing is that she knows the words, and sings the right notes. Maybe that's what we'll send out as video Christmas card.
Anyway, that's what this post is about - to celebrate a 3 year old who loves music and performance. I love to watch every little thing she does with pure joy and amazement. That's the joy of being a Dad.

I love maddie! She is such a sweetie and her and Ruby would get along. Ruby loves to dance too and they could just jam all day long. That is something I would love to see. Do you guys put her in any dance classes???
What an adorable quote. I wish I could see her dance and sing!
