She's Got Her Father's Rhythm Too!

So last Wednesday, Shara and I discovered a free-on-demand animated version of "The Wheels on the Bus" sung by Kevin Bacon of all people. Well, after five consecutive viewings, Maddie was hooked and immediately learned to say "bus" but with a little slur/lisp at the end: "buhsh." Awwwww....
Anyway, we went to watch it the next day and it had been pulled from the free offerings. Maddie's continued cries of "Buhsh? Buhsh?" were met with disappointed frowns by her parents. How could Charter have done this to us? Maddie soon learned to say, "Buhsh, gone." Awwwwww...
Well, I was able to find it on Netflix so I sent in whatever movie I had on hand but the new one didn't arrive until today. Our weekend was filled with whimpered "buhsh, gones."
Well, Maddie was excited to have the buhsh back and we watched it who knows how many times. The song grows on you, Mr. Bacon sounding nothing like you thought he would. Maddie found it in herself to do some interpretive dance. Anyone see a little Axl Rose?

In the second video, I have returned with Maddie's baby so she can dance with it. Let me just say that Maddie's care of her baby is NOT representative of how Shara and I have cared for Maddie. We do not just toss her onto the carpet and head out for a night of dancing. And yes, that is Maddie's real hair.
For those unsure of what she's doing at about 55 seconds, when she raises her right shoulder to her ear: she's blowing the doll a hug.
