This summer at the San Diego Zoo there were extra entertainers for the zoo when it was open later in the evenings. Claire loved it. He favorites were a trampoline melodrama (the people who jump) and a small acrobatic show (the people who swing). She talks about the people who jump and the people who swing constantly still. I had to tell her that they went home (because after labor day they weren't at the zoo anymore). At least once a day she'll turn to me and say, "who went home?" To which I am supposed to reply "the people who jump." The hubbs described her obsession by saying, "This is almost like a movie where dance changes the life of an inner-city youth {this happens to be one of my favorite movie genres}. Do we need to put her in trampoline lessons?"
Both of the performances were set to catchy pop songs. A couple of weeks ago she asked me to sing the people who jump song. I told her I didn't know it and out of nowhere she said, it goes "Here's my number. Call me maybe."
I was stunned. Of course I knew the song. We looked it up on youtube. And because the video isn't kid friendly I downloaded the song.
Since then we have played it over and over. This morning we have probably already heard it 10 times.
I could not be more proud.
And though my little brother thinks she's asking me not to take a picture I think she's wanting me to take a picture. You be your own judge.
She wanted you to take a picture. They always want you to take a picture...This is amazing. How did she even remember that song????????
