Little Conductor

My parents comes over every Monday to have dinner with us, but truthfully, it's really to see Alyssa.  It's ok, I don't mind that I've been replaced by my daughter because Alyssa adores her grandparents!  Towards the end of our dinner the other night, can't remember how it happened, but we started to sing "The Wheels on the Bus" and Alyssa was doing or trying to do the rolling of her fists.  After noticing only Park and I were doing the motions, she would grunt and point to the person that's not "singing" along and doing the motions.  At first we weren't sure what she was trying to do or tell us then finally came to the realization that she didn't like it when a certain person wasn't participating.  With her sitting at the head of the table, she was our little music conductor, conducting her choir.  It was the funniest thing and I wish I had gotten it on video but was just so in the moment that I didn't even think about grabbing my phone or camera to record it.  Maybe next time...

Here is next time without the conducting.  It's her with Park singing "The Wheels on the Bus".


After dinner while we were cleaning up and Alyssa was running around, she ran into the kitchen looked at us and turned around and walked away with her hands on her hips.  When I called her name, she turned around and looked at me. I told her to do it again, while demonstrating with one hand on my hip and my head tilted to the side.  She did exactly what I did and it was just the cutest thing!  I tired to recreate it to snap some pics but the moment was lost....


These are the times when I really truly wish there was a camera on her all day every day to capture all these fun silly moments!
