Dance party on Mommy's bed



Max gets so proud of himself when he's able to balance on our bed and bop around with Sabrina—he's really getting the hang of bobbing his knees up and down, a new achievement. I'll bet he'll be able to jump, soon. Do you think they have a future as rap stars? Oh, and I have no idea what language Sabrina is speaking in the middle of the video, I don't think they're teaching her Swahili at preschool, but I can't be sure.

News flash: Today is the one-year anniversary of this blog. I'm going to get all sentimental and share the first post I ever did. I'm so happy to know all of you (hi, lurkers!) and your beautiful children, and grateful for the encouragement and great ideas you've given me—not to mention the compliments on Max and Sabrina. Those, I can never get enough of.

    It's so beautiful to see how Max adores Sabrina! I have listened to this song over and over, sung by my own boys.

    Great post, and I'm headed over to the first. Happy Blogaversary!

    Hey Ellen, Happy Blogiversary! Thanks for your awesome, funny, inspiring blog and for giving us a peek at those incredibly cute kids of yours. LOVED the video! I especially love to watch Max and how he tries to copy Sabrina. Makes me want to have more kiddos of my own (Someday...just not quite ready yet). Hey, when're you going to bless the world with another cutie? Hmmm? ;)

    I have listend to Madagascar approximately, and I am not joking here, fiftysomething times in the last half year. It's the only DVD the kids ever want to watch in the car. I've never seen the movie, only listened to it. I hear "I like to move it move it" in my DREAMS.

    Third kid? Still on my list of possibilities....
