Singing & Dancing To His Own Tune

Our little Erik has been experimenting with his vocals lately. He loves hearing songs and definitely loves dancing to any tune. Erik's teachers would comment on how he would be the only one in class applauding his "music teacher" after every single song with his jaws opened in awe of what had just happened. :o) Our little guy loves music!

Well, for the past few weeks, it probably started in July, Erik has been singing consistently to himself. We'll be changing his diapers and then Erik would bellow out his version of "itsy bitsy spider" with all the hand movements and such. We'll be sitting down and brushing our teeth (**because its never safe to run around with a toothbrush**), and Erik would take the toothbrush out of his mouth and start singing "Happy Birthday" (comes out kinda like hoppy biifday) but the tune was definitely there!

The latest weekend song Erik learned was "More than I can say" by Leo Sayer, thanks to Daddy! Daddy would sing the first verse only "Whoa Whoa Yea Yea...I love you more than I can say....I'll love you twice as much tomorrow...Whoa Whoa love you more than I can say". Erik just LOVES this one...he started singing it all by himself (at least the first line of lyric) when he was in the bathtub. We were just so surprised...so then it became a spontaneous Family Karaoke Bath Night LOL! Daddy would sing and then point to Erik...and he'd finish (well, he'd add in the "Yea Yea" part). Mommy would go and then point to Erik...and gain he'd sing "whoa whoa yea yea" Too darn cute!

Now is Erik going to be the next American Idol?! No clue! But America...start your Erik Ma fan-club now ;o) Hahahah!

**Reminder to Mummy and Daddy: Must get DV tape tonight to record Erik's singing sensation **
