Dance like no one's watching....or say Cheese?

Turn music on anytime, anywhere and you will find Alison dancing away, or headbanging if it is in the car. She certainly has inherited her Dad's appreciation for music (she especially likes Beatles and just about any of the classics). Unfortunately, she also likes listening to it at mind numbing decibels like her Daddy too! Lately when we rock out to the child version of "I love Rock n Roll" or "J-U-M-P, she tells me she cannot hear it until everyone in Beaufort can rock out with her! I then shift my eyes in the rear view mirror to find her headbanging and playing the air guitar all the while saying, Mommy, look at...look at me...I headbanging like Daddy...you do it Mommy. So anyone driving by on any given day probably gets a good laugh when they take one glimpse into my car...it must be hilarious to onlookers! It always puts me in a good mood when she asks me to sing the song because we all know that I cannot carry on a tune to save my life...but guess what...Alison loves to hear my voice squeak! :) She makes every day fun and adventurous.

We were dining at Moe's Mexican restaurant on Sunday and they were playing great music over the loud speaker. Immediately I was nervous that we would not get Alison to eat a single thing because her legs were just trotting to the music and she could not sit still. Thinking on my feet, I came up with a game plan. I told Alison that she could rock out to the music as long as she ate a bite of her quesadilla every time it was offered to her....so check out the food chomping, foot stomping, Cheese screaming Alison in the video....enjoy! She ate her quesadilla and we were offered 20 minutes of great entertainment!
