My Little DJ

For over a year now, P has held the career aspiration of becoming a DJ. The whole thing is hysterical to my husband and me because, to our knowledge, he has never even seen a live DJ. He did however see a quick segment on the Disney channel where the monkeys were DJs and it seemed to seal the deal for him.

Most entertaining is his perspective on what it is to be a DJ. P loves to dance (including break dancing and doing hand motions like he is scratching a record player--where did he learn this?) Any time P hears music with a dance/hip hop beat he breaks into a HUGE grin and says, "Turn it up! It's DJ music." The Fresh Beat Band has become his favorite show and hoodies his favorite item in the closet.
This photo was taken last night as we were walking into a restaurant for dinner. I don't know how to break it to him that his Hanna Andersson hoodie is not exactly thug-wear...especially since it is the closest he is going to get while I am buying his clothes!

I could hardly contain my laughter last week when we were leaving K's dance class and saw a young man in saggy jeans and a black cap and t-shirt. P could not take his eyes off of him. It was as if he was looking at a super hero in the flesh. He turned his entire body 180 degrees to examine the man from every angle as he walked by us. Then he looked at me with an expression of amazement and said in a whisper, "Mom! It was a REAL DJ."


Oh, little man, how you make me giggle!

Edited to Add: For all you other rap-lovin' preschooler mamas, this is silly, but hilarious. Thanks to Kristie for e-mailing the link! I cannot wait to show P after school.
