...At least in our house!
Two of Mary Grace's very favorite things to do are sing and dance. She LOVES both equally, and while she possesses absolutely no skill at either...she has no inhibitions! Honestly, she could entertain us for hours. Unfortunately, she gets camera weird and either clams up or starts acting silly. Here are the two best examples we could catch on video (although in both cases, she is clearly aware of the camera):

Dancing to a live band at Calhouns
While clearly Mary Grace will NEVER make a career out of either of these "skills," she really does have an ear for music. She can identify at least 20 songs (not nursery rhyme songs, real songs on the radio) before the first words are even sung. It always amazes me when she calls out the name of the song and the person singing it after hearing 2 or 3 notes (chords?? I'm SO not musical!) Her favorite singers are Taylor [Swift], John [Mayer], and Dave [Matthews]. She is on a first name basis with each of them. And her current favorite songs are "Party in the USA" (which she calls "my song"), "Hey Soul Sister," "White Horse" (aka "the horsie song"), "Big Green Tractor" and "Alejandro."
Mary Grace knows the words to songs after hearing them only once or twice. It is scary, really. And recently she really listens and tells me what the songs are about. It is funny- I will hear her little voice pipe in from the back "Mommy, this song is about..." I have been trying to censor a bit lately!
