Chicken Dance

As a joke, at my wedding, my father and I did the chicken dance before the father-daughter waltz.  only my sister, the DJ, and the photographer were in on the joke!  My mom had made a comment along the lines of "they better not play the chicken dance at your wedding!", which started the whole thing.  When they first started the music, Adam actually leaned over to his best man and made some comment about me killing the DJ.  Anyway.....

Shortly after the wedding, my dad's girlfriend bought me a semi-stuffed chicken that sings the chicken dance and flaps its arms.  When Oliver was younger, it absolutely terrified him and he would scoot as far away from it as he could if you turned it on.  My how things have changed.... he is currently OBSESSED with it!  Especially now that he can push the button himself to start/stop it (which means you hear "Want to do the chicken dance?" about twice as often as you hear the actual song). 

It's best when he dances along.  We haven't quite figured out the clapping that goes with it yet, but give him another couple of weeks and he will have it down.  I will try and take a video of him and the dancing chicken this weekend.
