I have a toddler. He's two. He's awesome. Before he goes to bed each night, I sing him a song. We have about five that we choose from, and I usually ending singing the same one or two each night.
Then, a week ago, he decides to start rejecting all my song options with a casual "nope" after each of my standard suggestions. In desperation I started naming completely random songs in hopes that he would say yes to one. He finally did.
The Macarena.
I have just enough Spanish skills to sing the thing, and barely enough dancing skills to get through it without falling down.
He loved it. I've done it five times a night for the last week, and I feel like an idiot. But, when I'm done, he lays down with a smile on his face and goes right to sleep, so I keep on dancin'.
Remember the Macarena? Need a reminder? I'll warn you, there are girls dancing with tight pants on.
