Idol brings out child’s “inner performer”
It was another Tuesday night and I went out of my way to be sure bath time was over, teeth were brushed and pajamas were on by 8 p.m. — including mine.
It isn’t every day Mommy gets to indulge in her guilty pleasure of American Idol. A guilty pleasure that my 5-year-old son, Noah also enjoys.
“Can I watch the singing show with you?” he asks.
So we settle on the couch with little brother Nick, who just likes whatever Noah likes. Daddy gave up on AI when Chris Daughtry was prematurely voted off a few seasons ago.
Last night’s Michael Jackson themed show proved though, what I have expected for quite some time. Noah, is a performer.
As if his comment the night before while watching Dancing With the Stars wasn’t enough proof, “When are they going to dance fast?” — it was when AI contestant Danny Gokey took the stage that it truly sunk in.
Noah was off the couch within the first note of “PYT.” Arms flailing, head bobbing and legs stomping he moved in front of the TV like a caffeinated chipmunk (surely you have all seen the Alvin and the Chipmunks movie, right?).
Before the judges could even sing their praises Noah breathlessly asked, “Can we rewind that?”
So I did. I also recorded it and first thing out of bed this morning, Noah clicked on the DVR and was jamming away again to “PYT.”
For me, it was better than that first sip of morning coffee. I can’t wait to see what gets him moving next week. I just hope it isn’t Barry Manilow week — ugh.
