We have a little family tradition that I started when Eleanor was just a tiny baby. Every Sunday morning (some Saturday mornings and an occasional evening or weekday morning by special request) we have a family dance party! The big event starts right after breakfast and we are, most often, still in our pajamas. Just a few of Eleanor’s favorite songs and dance moves get us ready to start our day!
Despite the fact that we have exposed Eleanor to a pretty wide range of musical genres, and although she seems to enjoy any and all music, she clearly has a preference for a catchy pop song that you can dance to. Her favorites at the moment are Lady Gaga’s Pokerface and Just Dance, Beyonce’s Single Ladies, and Rhianna’s Umbrella. Her all time favorite, that I’ve been playing for her since she was tiny, is the Jackson 5, especially Rockin’ Robin and ABC. Her dance moves, by the way, as you’ll see shortly are variations on jumping up and down, some sort of pony-like trot, and running in a circle. We need to get this girl in dance class.
Here she is at a specially requested afternoon dance party:

omg that girl KILLS me!
She is so adorable, and already a better singer and dancer than me. Is the Dance Studio 84 still open in Valencia? I have a lot of childhood memories (and spandex costumes) from that place.
OMG!!! I love it. We ought to get K and Eleanor together, they’d make a fabulous girl band. My fav was the rendition of Pokerface. What’s funny is Kaitlyn just heard Umbrella for the first time on the radio in the car and she LOVED it and sang it for the rest of the day.
OMG! She had me cracking up…”p p p Pace!” She was making me nervous getting close to the corners there inthe 1st video. This is too adorable for words. Great job filming Mom!
I second the “p-p-p-pace” comment left by a previous reader!!! SO, so so damn cute!!!!!
Rock it, girl!

“Can’t read my, can’t read my!” Eleanor is such a little love, she is hilarious! How fun, I can’t wait until we get a chance to dance and sing!
