Dancing Fool

Teddy really loves music and we have no idea where it comes from (really, neither Adrian nor I have a musical bone in our bodies).  Teddy will dance on cue to his favorite tunes (country/bluegrass is his current favorite) and he has started this babble that my Mother and I think is him trying to sing.  I am serious, no other explanation for this babble makes sense except that he is singing his favorite tunes (he starts clapping and bobbing the head just like Hitch would tell him to do).

Over the holidays, my Mother got this cute singing reindeer (playing "Grandma got run over by a Reindeer") that Teddy just LOVED and would dance on cue and play it on repeat all day.  Here is a little taste of Teddy with his Uncle Bobby (his godfather and supreme spoiler rottener):


I am going to go ahead and encourage this because if Teddy is not going to be in the NFL, maybe he can be the next Justin Bieber.......I am okay with either one.

Funny story today, we went to the indoor soft playroom and they have this ball pit with a small slide that Teddy loves.  He waited his turn and slid down but this older little girl did not let him move before she tried to bound over him to go back up the slide and he accidentally raised up and hit her in the nose.  She began to cry and her mother ran over...note that her mother had to RUN over.  She then asked me what happened and I told her that Teddy accidentally hit her in the nose as she was climbing up the slide.  She then gave me "THE LOOK" and I know you know this look if you are a parent of a child like Teddy.  "THE LOOK" means (roughly) "your child is a menace and you should control him better and make sure he does not do anything that even remotely bothers my child."  Hmm, well that is all well and good, except you see, I was actually there supervising my child, not over with my girlfriend gossiping about how the mall in Chevy Chase is soooo much better than Tysons.  Here was my look back to her as I said "sorry, I think they bumped into each other on accident".."Lady, you better not shoot me that look because as wild as my child is your child ran over top of him and you better just be lucky he did not draw blood.  Stop bitching and moaning about your life of terrible malls and supervise your child in a room with 25 other children running wild. Thanks!"  Ahh yes, I said it, can't take it back.  She sat in the corner with her friend while their children ran wild in a room with 25 toddlers and parents, so excuse me if my child bumped your daughter, PAY ATTENTION TO HER and maybe she would have waited her turn.  My other issue is that kids hit Teddy, etc in the course of them playing and I just kind of let it go but this lady was seriously pissed about this as if Teddy had some vendetta against her daughter.  Dunno...he is my angel but he is a wild one.  (Another Mom did say she thought he was wild and pitied me running after him and she has 2 boys so she knows.)  LOVE LOVE LOVE Him, super crazy and wild as he is!  (Side note, he pulled this small chest on top of him right before we went and I gave him a popsicle to calm him down...can you say SUGAR HIGH???)
