He Marches to the Beat of a Different Drum

On our recent trip to Disneyland and California Adventure, we stumbled upon the Phineas and Ferb Rockin' and Rollin' Dance Party while walking from one ride to another. The characters from the show come out onto the main road and dance to some of the tunes from the show (which p.s. has got to be the most entertaining cartoon.  love the writing on that show).  Kids from the audience are invited to come up on the "stage" to learn the moves from the performers and dance along with them.

I had a hunch that this would be right up Jonah's alley so we stopped to watch.  As most of you know, he's never met a stage he didn't like so I figured he'd get right up there on the first song and start shaking his booty.  I was wrong.  He didn't get up for the first, second, or third song.  Apparently, he is a song connoisseur and he just wasn't feeling the first few songs.  But alas, the fourth song had a groovin' beat! He marched right up - front and center - and proceeded to do his thang.

I cannot watch this video without chuckling. I have a feeling you'll have a hard time getting through it without a smile, too!  Pay special attention to the awesome move 40 seconds in.

I love this little boy so much.  I love that all the other kids are following the performers moves, yet Jonah is off in his own little world doing his own funky dance.

There are many times when it makes me crazy, but in times like these, I love that Jonah marches to the beat of a different drum.
