This morning Matthew decided that we needed a good parade, and he was just the boy to provide one. For a good half hour he rehearsed in his room with the music cranked up. I knocked midway through to check on him and he let me know that he didn't want interruptions or peeking, because "it's a surprise!"
He wanted to wait until this evening to put on his show since Daddy would be home then.
Tonight he plugged the CD player in the living room and got ready to strut his stuff. Prior to the show he assured us that "it's ok to laugh because it is a silly dance."
Then Matthew went to town with a crazy dance involving jumping, break dance moves, choreographed arm movements, and singing. Melissa couldn't restrain herself and joined in on the fun. It was more of a show than a parade, and now I know why Matthew was so sweaty after rehearsal this morning. You could really tell that he'd practiced what he wanted to do too. We captured a few minutes on the camcorder for posterity's sake.
