musical baby

Luke loves to dance. He'll dance when I turn on a CD or when he starts music playing from a toy. Sometimes he'll really get into it! At home, he sings songs with words and a decent rendition of the melody, doing hand motions too. From Emmett, he's learned what a half note is and that it gets two beats (clap and say "Half - note" in two beats).

But in music class, he still just stares at the other kids. He'll play the drums and shakers, but no singing and definitely no dancing. Every time we get up to dance, he insists that I hold him. I keep trying to get him to dance with me, but he just wants to be held. Surely he'll loosen up eventually.
