Lookit my boy!

Tonight, Lincoln passed his very first DDR song, Tsugaru.

He passed four or five times in a row. He's only getting a D, but as his proud daddy said, "Who cares if the grammar's bad? The monkey is TALKING!"

Here's a movie of him practicing, about a week ago (on workout mode):

Go, Linker!

(And now that I've figured out the movie function on my camera, and how to get YouTube to accept the files... well, I'm afraid you all are in for it now. Tough!)

edited to add: jedusor reminded me of a great picture of Linc not too long after he learned to walk, trying DDR. He wanted to do it SO BADLY, we had to put out a dummy mat for him, or else he'd stomp all over the other pad while people were trying to play. He shares now... he tries to get all the kids who come to visit to do it, but they're flummoxed. He's just so advanced!

The force is strong in this one.

Okay, a toddler doing DDR is officially the CUTEST THING EVER.

I happen to agree with you there.

It's a long movie... I should've edited... but the end is worth waiting (or forwarding) for.

That rocks so much. You all deserve to be seriously proud.

Hey, and Tsugaru is HARD! (Okay, the constantly changing speed may be lost on him, but still....)

Very well done, and totally kawaii.

OK, that is unbearably cute. ::puddle of goo::

Go Linc! And good song choice, too. If that last note won't teach a child patience, I don't know what will.

OMG if I'd known this when you and the kiddunken visited my work, I would have totally taken y'all to the building that has a DDR game in it. (I've played on it a couple of times, and it's SO fun. I suck at it a lot less than I do with Guitar Hero, that's for sure. Must be all that folk dancing in my past.)
