Many months of turning simple phrases into songs has payed off. This morning Raegan finished her breakfast and wanted down. She started mumbling, "Back off wall...dance." It took me a second to figure it out, then I realized she was recalling one of the songs I sing to her. Sometimes when she asks to get down, I sing "Get Down on It" by Kool and the Gang. "Do you wanna get down? Watcha gonna do? How you gonna do it if you really don't wanna dance by standing on the wall? Get your back up off the wall, come on!" I got my computer and played it in iTunes and we had fun dancing. All that was missing was a disco ball and some roller skates.
Other songs include "It's Too Hot," also by Kool and the Gang, sung when food is too hot to eat.
Watch and listen for yourself:
