Five stars for Edna Turnblatt



Well, at least that's what Amos thinks. Amos has decided that the greatest movie of all time is the John Travolta version of Hairspray. I watched it one day, and the little man started groovin' and a shakin' to the sounds of Negro Day (that's part of the movie, not me being racist). It's apparent that somewhere deep inside, my boy has soul.

And he gotta let you know.






That's actually a subdued version of his rockin' out. Sometimes he has a whole head thrashing thing that goes along with it, maybe with a hop and floor tap for a flourish.

For some reason, John Travolta's man hands and veiny forearms do not prevent Amos from enjoying the movie. *SHUDDER* (and yes, I did just say "veiny")




I'll throw in a little more fun for your Friday pleasure. Here are Phil and Amos demonstrating their own version of getting around the house. Amos does this ALL THE TIME. I think that this particular move is why he refuses to walk. Why walk when you can do this?





And then end it with a dance, of course.



In other news, please visit the fine folks at this week's edition of Five Star Friday. What? My blog is included in the superb selections? Really? You don't say.

Toot toot on my horn... toot toot toot toot...

That little man likes to shake his butt. I don't think he's ever going to walk. He's just going to go straight to doing The Stroll.

Alternate blog title: Hey Amos, let me see you shake your tail feathers...

Looks like you're a regular at Five Star Friday! Congrats. :-)

Amos is adorable. But you knew that!

I loved the videos! However, I can't help but think one day Amos will just get up and decide to walk--then you'll be wishing he still scooted. There's no doubt in my mind your little boy will be "running" in no time. BTW, congrats on the new tooth.

love it! the butt scooting is worrisome...but not so much if dad has it too!...i recently watched that version of hairspray too, but didnt have the same reaction. more like horror at john's interpertation of the lovely divine's character...i'm still trying to get over it...waaaah!...on a happier note kudos to queen latifa for her motor mouth mabel...i loved her in that last number...no wonder amos was groovin'...good call!!
