My little guy loves music

So today at daycare they said he was a little sad but loved singing and dancing at circle time. It's true. He loves to sing and dance. He has enjoyed music since a few months old. He quickly learned in the crib to turn on the music that turned the mobile. He would hum with it. Then he moved to toys that played songs - musical books, alphabet pal catepillar, the hungry catepillar and jack russel terrier musical pull-string toys, and then the clock radio. Once he knew where we stashed the remote for that thing, he was grabbing it and putting it up to us, signaling us to turn it on. Then he could say "dan" - or dance - as he pointed to the radio. Apparently he did this in the infant room at daycare. And now in the toddler room he just goes over to the radio/CD player and turns it on himself. :) too funny. He loves to sing to the ABC song, and is even already saying a few of the letters as we sing. He loves "Wheels on the bus" and a total favorite is "Itsy bitsy spider". He holds his hands together at the fingertips and says "ih ih" - so we sing along together. He seems to really like "WIPE the spider OUT!" and then he puts his fingertips together when the spider climbs up the spout again! Sometimes we hear him singing to himself. We're not clear yet what the song is, but he's definitely singing. This was even more clear the day he gave himself a big round of applause, "YEAH!" clapping feverishly. :) My kids are not lacking in self-confidence, that is for sure!
