Enjoying the artic blast

During the last artic blast in Ohio, heavy snow was kind of pain in the neck for me but a lot of fun for Luke. He could make a snowman for the first time in his life.

Best Baby Breakdancer in the World!

I posted Luke's dancing in the room before. However, I found the following video in the web and this baby is more amazing!!!!
Enjoy!!

Flare Up


Can you see that Luke is clenching his fists in this paiting? He was told to stamp pine cone on the paper but what I see more is his hand.

Introducing “IT’S HIP HOP, BABY!” video

Since I showed you my boy dancing, today I will introduce a brand new video with a new pedagogical concept. Read the following their press release.


“It’s Hip Hop, Baby!” is an innovative new preschool video that features traditional songs spiced up with fresh beats and rhythms, encouraging children to explore music, language and sounds. Created especially for children ages 2 and older, the catchy music of “It’s Hip Hop, Baby!” can be enjoyed by the whole family.


“It’s Hip Hop, Baby!” includes original songs, as well as the classics we all know and love – “ABCs,” “If You’re Happy and You Know It,” and “Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes” – but on this video the music has a trendy, dance-worthy beat with a fun, positive message. It promotes the joys of learning ABC’s, animals, body parts, colors and numbers through captivating musical performances that sound like today’s hottest hip hop tracks. “It’s Hip Hop, Baby!” also features real children, not actors, showing kid-friendly movements that help develop listening skills and the ability to follow simple directions.


Dr. Lisa Thornton MD, pediatrician and host of “Health Corner” on Lifetime Television says, “It’s Hip Hop, Baby!” is 22 minutes of programming I would recommend for any child.”
Through the “It’s Hip Hop, Baby!” interactive website, parents across the country are giving this video an A+ rating. Grace Harris, mother of three children in Chicago, IL says, “My kids are obsessed with “It’s Hip Hop, Baby!” my youngest said “Hip Hop Baby” a least a hundred times yesterday.” Domenica Catelli from Houston Texas writes, “My niece, Emma, who is 2 ½ got her copy and she LOVES IT! The first day she watched the video 4 times in a row! She spins and dances while she’s watching it.”


“It’s Hip Hop, Baby!” educates children in a fun and exciting way. The “It’s Hip Hop, Baby!” DVD is now available exclusively online at www.itshiphopbaby.com.
