This Kid...

He'd been in bed for nearly an hour when I heard him. At first I just assumed he was talking to himself, his usual stall technique when he's trying to avoid going to sleep.

But no, this time it was different. More melodic. He was singing! And he was loud.

I peaked my head around the corner, and saw him there. He was standing in his doorway, leaning against the baby gate.

"Put your left hand in..."

Out stretched a tiny little hand through the bars on the gate.

"Put your left hand out..."

The hand disappeared into the darkness.

"Put your left hand in and shake it all about..."

The hand came back and rattled against the bars as he shook it about.

"Do the Hokey Pokey and you turn yourself around..."

The hand disappeared again as he turned around in his doorway.

Isaac came out of the back bedroom at this point. When he saw him Jack scrambled for his bed singing the last line of the song.

"And that's what it's all about!"

This kid never fails to make me smile. :)
