There will be twirling

Whenever I hear music I need to dance. But sometimes, when I really like the beat, I need to twirl!! Sure, I usually end up falling and bumping into something, but twirling is still super fun.

Dirty valentine

Theo didn't end up being my valentine, David did. You remember David, we went to the ice skating show together. Well, he came over today and we had a very romantic date. We had heart shaped cookies, cheered our cups together and even dirty danced a little bit. Don't tell Daddy, but I started shaking my butt (mommy called it twirking) and David came right up close behind me to dance. It was steamy! Good thing mommy didn't get any videos or pictures, then David would be in trouble with Daddy for sure.



Sorry, I eat the candy that was on it.

I made you this card.

Leader of the band

In addition to playing the piano, I've gotten really good at the tambourine. I'm thinking I should maybe start a band, or go out on my own like Wayne the Music Man. I would need a catchy name. Hmmm. What could it be? Perhaps, Lexi Lou and the Who. What do you think? I also need to work on how to end my songs. Mommy told me hitting someone on the head with a tambourine is inappropriate (that means bad). Geesh. You're killing my artistic creativity, mommy!

All fall down

I have a new favorite song, the all fall down song. I don't know what ring around the rosie means, but I sure love when I get to fall down. It always gives me a case of the giggles.

Halloween hoot

Halloween was awesome. First it started with a party at school. Once we all dressed up in our costumes--I was an owl--we had a little dance party to get warmed up. (Check out the video below.) My friend Vera was a peacock and Adi was a tiger. I kept swiping at their headpieces, which they didn't seem to like very much. Then we went over to the park and Wayne the music man came with his guitar and we danced and sang some more.

Next we met up with our friends the Ingermans and went trick or treating in their neighborhood. It was amazing. You just ring the doorbell, walk up to the person holding a candy bowl, smile at the person and take a piece of candy. So simple. I got it down by the third house. Sometimes I even grabbed two or three pieces of candy and other times I didn't grab any. Instead I put my hand in the candy bowl and just moved it around. No one seemed to mind as long as you smile.

Then today we had some friends over for a Halloween party. Mommy and daddy made all this spooky food, like mummy hotdogs, ghost bananas, vampire teeth, cheese spiders, human cheese fingers, vegetables shaped into a big pumpkin and we even had a pumpkin puking guacomole. (He he he.) That was my favorite. Halloween is the funiest holiday!

 

Leader of the boppers

I had an impromptu (that means unplanned) dance party at school today. It started first with me practicing getting in and out of the chairs at the little table they have at school. That got my legs warmed up. They they put some music on and I just started bopping. All the teachers started cheering me on and I got my friend Vera to join. What a blast!

Big cruisin

My art show got cancelled yesterday. It was raining cats and dogs. (That means raining really hard.) The show got postponed until June 5th. Feel free to come if you are around. I found out we'll have a special guest, Wayne the music man! I'm so excited!! When it finally stopped raining I got to try the big girl part of my stroller. No more cruisin in the bucket-car-seat-turned-stroller for me.

This thing sure does make me look long.

What’s on the bus?

My latest fascination is with the Wheels on the Bus song. It’s so catchy. At school we sing about the wheels and the wipers and the driver. At home, mommy likes to make stuff up. Tonight on the bus there were book bags that went “flop flop flop,” bugs that went “buzz, buzz, buzz” and other kids that went “Lexi sit with me, Lexi sit with me, Lexi sit with me.” Mommy’s singing is pretty horrible. She seems to make up lots of words to all different songs all the time. (Or at least that is what daddy tells me). But, I don’t want mommy to feel bad so I just smile and giggle when she sings to me. I wonder what will be on the bus tomorrow?

Piano promotion

I’m so good at playing the piano in my crib that I got upgraded. I now have this bouncy toy and when I kick my feet on the piano keys it plays all different types of music and lights up. There are also keys I can play with my hands. It’s so much fun. Whenever I’m in it and I can’t stop smiling.

 

Shake your booty

I got a few requests to see my dance moves, so here you go. In fairness, I was a little tired when we shot this video. Mommy and daddy dragged me around to a ton of stores all day again. We were in the car, out of the car. In the car, out of the car. It was exhausting! We also strolled around the mall for a bit. Have you ever noticed how almost every store has its own unique smell? A lot of them are overpowering (that means really strong). I nearly passed out between the combination of Lush and Abercrombie. Those stores make my poopy diapers smell good!

Dance Party

Mommy and me had a dance party this morning. I absolutely love FUN. I couldn’t stop dancing and smiling to their song “Some Nights.” I also like Beyonce, but old-school Beyonce, not the new XO song. I kind of like Rihanna, but not when she is rapping. I also really love Billy Joel. I heard Daddy say Billy is coming to Boston this summer. Do you think daddy will let me go to my first live concert? If not, maybe Wayne the Music Man and Billy are friends and Billy will come to day care to sing for me and my friends. I can even lend him my piano. 

If I give you a big hug can I
go to the concert? Pretty please?

We be jamming

Wayne the Music Man came to day care today. I really liked him a lot. I was bopping and cooing along to all the songs he sang. I wish I had my piano with me, I could have joined the jam. We also had a photo shoot today. My teachers took some pictures of me so tomorrow I can have my picture added to the wall with my other classmates, making me official. I hope they got my good side. J

An evolution of a Lexi smile on the way to day care today.

Piano Woman

Everyone is always saying I have piano fingers because they are so long, but I prefer to play with my toes. College scholarship here I come.

And just in case the piano doesn't work out, I've been practicing my air guitar ... mainly when I have my rocker pajamas on.
