Rawhide......WHAT HAVE WE DONE?!!?!?

I don't quite remember how it evolved but Grace's favorite song is "Rawhide" from the 1959 Western. Yikes! I think most babies have favorite songs like "Old MacDonald" or the "Itsy Bitsy Spider" but not our Grace. Bob & I have downloaded Rawhide from YouTube and play it daily (many, many, many, many, many times) for our Grace because we always get such a great reaction from her whenever she hears it. We also have choreographed a special dance to go along with the song. I think Grace's love of Rawhide all started when she was a newborn and I would sing "move 'em up, move 'em down" and "keep movin' movin' movin" to her while moving her arms and legs. Over time this catchy tune (???) has become part of her daily routine and once Grace started rolling it became a classic in our house........"rollin' rollin' rollin' keep the Gracie rollin'". We find ourselves making up differnt lyrics to the Rawhide tune all the time too! This is the reaction we always get from Grace whenever she hears this song:

Viewer discretion advised: This song will get stuck in your head ALL day and KEEP YOU UP AT NIGHT! Rollin' rollin' rollin'.........

It's very TRUE------we cannot get that song {Rawhide} out of our heads!!!!

We have been singing it constantly for over a week now! We catch ourselves singing the tune over and over again without even noticing it until one of us starts laughing!

Will Grace grow up to be a rancher or a cowgirl? Bob & Rebecca you better begin looking at horses. I'll get the pink cowgirl boots!!
Rollin' rollin' rollin' with love, Maddy and Poppy
