We love really fast, get-your-spirit moving music on the drive to work & school on Monday's (really every day but especially on Monday). The little cowboy knows just about every song on the radio whether it's Christian, Oldies, or Country. The song came on the radio by Rodney Atkins, "I've been watching you" and the lyrics to the song are very meaningful & of course the out of tune voice in the back helped it to be even more adorable.
The lyrics to the chorus fit our little "buckaroo" ~ here's a sample and I'll post the song below too so you can listen to it if you haven't heard it before.
He said I've been watching you dad, ain't that cool
I'm your buckaroo, I wanna be like you
And eat all my food and grow as tall as you are
We got cowboy boots and camo pants
Yeah we're just alike, hey ain't we dad
I wanna do everything you do
So I've been watching you
I'm your buckaroo, I wanna be like you
And eat all my food and grow as tall as you are
We got cowboy boots and camo pants
Yeah we're just alike, hey ain't we dad
I wanna do everything you do
So I've been watching you
The song finished and the little cowboy said, "Mom, I've been watching you and so has everyone else in Meltdown ~ you're doing really good. That's why everyone is so excited to join you. Exercise isn't fun it's just something you have to do to keep your body feeling good. Words of Wisdom from the almost 8 year -old.
Exercise is going to be fun this week and each & every week of Meltdown! We are going to have a record turn out tonight for our Walkfit. Make sure to bring along some water so you keep hydrated and arrive a little early so we can be sure to begin on time!
We have met 1/2 of my goal for Meltdown sign up participants and we have extended the deadline! Make sure to refer your friends so we can meet our goal of 100+ participants and help Neosho County lose a ton!
