Watching my little one grow up

One of the greatest satisfactions I have as a father is watching my two year old grow up.

Of course, his vocabulary seems to grow everyday. But, the most amazing thing for me is watching him form his little likes and dislikes – especially concerning music.

Since he was born, my son has always seemed to appreciate music. When he was a baby, he liked to watch music videos when he was swinging in his chair. It often calmed him and put him to sleep.

Now, he bobs his head in the car and asks me to turn up the radio when a song he likes comes on. His favorite artist happens to be Beyoncè or "Oncè" as he pronounces it.

And, this doesn't appear to be any fair-weather thing.

Every day when we come from daycare we must watch "Oncè" on YouTube. It has become somewhat of a ritual. He must see her recent American Music Awards performance where she sang her latest hit "Single Ladies".

Once the video comes on, he sings along and dances. He just has himself a good old time. And when it is done, we must watch it again - four of five times, to be exact. He needs to see it that many times to get his "Oncè" fix for the night.

Good thing, I like her too.

I get to use him as my excuse to watch her. While, I hope we're watching for two different reasons, I'm not entirely sure.

My son definitely likes older girls also.

Something about girls in diapers doesn't work for him.

The Wizard has spoken.

In honor of my son, I am posting his favorite video for your viewing pleasure.
