Exercise Gone Awry

Our son is talented. Really he is. We are not the only people who think this either. Lots of other people comment on how smart Caleb is.* We mention this because recently, Caleb has picked up this habit of spinning around in a circle. Yep, like a dog chasing his tail. The first time he did it we laughed at how cute it was. The second time he did it, although still cute, we started to wonder where he picked it up. The next three plus times, we started to wonder....

So, while picking up Caleb from Geby's house (our nanny), mommy decided to ask her if she'd noticed Caleb doing this new trick. The following is what transpired.**

Mommy: Hey, have you noticed Caleb doing this new thing where he spins around in a circle.

Geby: Oh yeah, funny story… You know, I do my exercise video in front of the kids and I think they picked up some of the moves.

Mommy: (thinking - exercise videos??)

Geby: At first, Caleb, he just swings his arms side-to-side for warm up, but then one day he started turning in a circle! He likes that move. Matthew's favorite is the squat up and down, up and down move.

I think it’s cute. Those boys are so funny! It's amazing how qucikly they learn and pick things up.



Yep, really. So...now that we know the source of the spinning it’s clear to us why he only seems to do it when there’s music on. He’s dancing!! Poor Caleb, he’s never going to be cool with this as his signature dance move; and Matthew, we apologize for criticizing your dance moves before.

* Yes, all of these people are related to us. So? It still counts!

** We LOVE Geby by the way.  Caleb loves her too. She’s the greatest.
