Music is a huge part of our family. All kinds of music. Classical, to country, to beach music, to rap. My children are very well versed in music culture (or at least I think they are) and often hear a wide variety thanks to their parents. So, it is also no surprise that my children are often spotted having dance parties at random moments too!
Take for example random Friday nights. Those Friday nights when nothing is going on and it is FABULOUS!! Yep, they typically lead to a dance party around here! Since these are not new occurrences at our house, we have been able to see over the years, who has the Bubba knack for dancing and who could care less. Charlie… Charlie could absolutely care less. He has about 3 songs he will request and they haven't varied in 2 summers! He is tolerant but inside is probably totally miserable and will one day recount to us the many times he was forced to endure these dance sessions!

| See! He even chooses to hide under the covers during these sessions! |
Wylie is the attention seeker when it comes to the dance parties! Bless her bones, she puts in the most effort of any of the children but she just doesn't have the same moves her father or other siblings do. She wants to though, lordy does she want those moves!!! She is very observant to her daddy when he dances! She soaks it all in just like everything else she does! Always on the look out… that's my Wylie girl! But, I can say, the child knows so words to some songs! She can recognize them quickly so at least she is half there!! Love ya Wy! Keep putting your heart and soul into the dances girlfriend! That's what it's all about anyways!! Dance like no one's watching!!
And then there remains to be discussed Bess and Ben. If you wondered where the dancing talent was placed when he Good Lord created our children, I can assure you, it is in these 2!!
Bess is pretty much a human radio. She knows more songs than most children and her range of music knowledge is a bit scary and impressive all at the same time! She can rock a techno song then turn and request a Disney show tune! Her taste can never really be predicted! And the child has the moves! When you aren't watching, Bess will totally rock some dance moves! She can shake it, dip, keep a beat and all that dance jazz! I must admit, seeing her do this when it is not prompted is my favorite!! It is honestly in her blood!
One of the kids favorite songs to dance party to with their daddy is Ben Rector's White Dress song. The piano part in this song is one of the many reasons we , and the kids, adore this song!
Hence the mad piano playing that always goes along with our dance moves!
But then the boogie gets back in the song and the crowd goes wild again!
Recently, Bess has discovered techno music. While I must admit, this is not really my cup of tea, it seems to be a fabulous way for her and her daddy to bond on their drives to school in the morning!
So… should we even be surprised that Bess requested a small dance party in the den to show off her techno dance skills! Of course not!
Bubba cranked up his phone and the music and away this little dance machine went!
Just look at that pointed toe! I am guessing the Thursdays of ballet class are paying off!!!
And a little sassy hit action completed her loops around the coffee table!!
But wait! There was more than one dance machine in the room!
Ben was ready to throw his hands up and show his moves like Bessie Boo was doing!
Please take notice of Bubba's face in the background! Totally into this moment… he was so digging it!
And if this doesn't picture doesn't scream Product of Bubba , I am not sure what does!
The kid was SERIOUS about his expressions! And his dance moves!!
After a little help from her dancing daddy, Wylie was hanging in the group with her moves!
Because the master of crazy moves was able to give lessons on the spot!
And just when I thought Ben had moved onto the next activity, he would reappear in the room with a facial expression like this…
And that my friends, is the truth on SO many levels!
This house is crazy at times! This house is way to loud at times! This house is total chaos at times! But at the end of the day, when I am typically exhausted and tired, I wouldn't trade all this crazy for one single thing in the world!
This is normal. Dance Parties and all!
