Two For the Price of One

I know Halloween is long gone, but I just had to post this.  I signed Luke up for a music class called "Merry Melodies with the Merry Music Maker" to help him come out of his shell.  Since day one, it has been hilarious to watch Audrey really let loose.  Usually, Luke cowers in the corner with me as Audrey joins right in with the group.  (To be fair to Luke, though, he's warming up more and more, and he loves participating in jumping songs!)  Sometimes the class will come to a standstill as everyone watches in awe as Audrey carefully follows the teacher's instructions or dances along with the kids.  She always gets the props the other kids get:  drums, finger cymbals, dancing scarves, etc., and she always seems to use them properly.  I think she's really inspired by the music and loves to "play music" as it's sometimes called.  I felt bad after a couple of sessions and offered to pay for her too.  The teacher just laughed and said she loved seeing her every week and wouldn't accept more money.    

Unfortunately, I've never been able to capture what I'm talking about very well on video.  Halloween was the closest I've come.  The class was tiny that day (I assume because of no school for older siblings), and I was at least able to catch a little bit.  The first half of this video makes me laugh every time, although Audrey kind of freezes for the second half.  Anyway, who doesn't want to see a cute doctor and little cheerleader doing a few moves!  Who can spot the little Dora who got her hair cut just for Halloween?
