If there's one thing that Evelyn loves, it's music and dancing to music. OK, two things. She can be in the crabbiest trantrumiest mood, but the second we put on one of her favorite tunes, she immediately stops what she's doing and starts bobbing and bouncing.
Generally she likes the music we listen to, especially anything with a good beat, preferring it over the few kids' songs that we've played for her. One of her absolute favorites has to be a song by Peter Bjorn and John called Paris 2004. The second this song comes on, all is right in Evelyn's world. Years from now, hearing that opening beat will forever bring me back to this time. I wonder if it'll do the same for her in some way?
James Brown is a huge favorite for her. Evelyn can be in the other end of the house, but if we put on Sex Machine, she'll come running into the kitchen and start getting down. Kind of like this (with New Order):
Her dancing is irresistible, and soon after she starts, she's got everyone in the room dancing... Mama, Papa, Po Po, and when she's there, Jennifer. She doesn't even let Baby sit still for too long! Here, Evelyn's administering a little bit of Shaken Baby Syndrome:
And let's not forget Evelyn's jazz hands...
