All Amazing Babies

With its Appalachian history, clog dancing has been part of American culture for many generations. Although clog dancing was formed from multiple cultures such as Welsh, Cherokee, English, German, and African forms of movement, it remains a mainstay in American dance culture to this day. Tap dancing, which was heavily inspired by clog dancing, is in the same vein.

One of the things that differentiates tap from clog dancing is that unlike tap, traditional clog dancing typically focuses on just the footwork while the arms remain at the sides. Well, one of the things that makes Bailey stand out as a pro is her ability to get her entire body involved in the dance without her missing one step. She is clearly having fun with the dance and letting the music move her rather than being so technical and focusing on the steps alone.

National Convention Turned National Treasure

Many people commented on the video saying how much they enjoyed watching the young lady’s presentation of the traditional dance, and they liked the new age spin that she gave it. With a smile on her face while whipping her ponytail and flowing into every step, she added a flare that is not typically seen in this type of dance. Although associated with old-time music, this performance was extremely young and hip.

Fun the Entire Family Can Enjoy

Each year, the National Clogging Convention welcomes people of all age groups to compete as well as enjoy watching the American dance. The dance steps, which are dictated by a “Caller,” are combined with traditional instruments such as a banjo, fretted dulcimer, fiddle, and guitar. As the Caller says the moves, the dancers will execute them in unison to the beat of the music.

When He Calls, She Is Right on Time

In this video, the Caller is naming specific dance steps such as Bird Walk, Hillbilly Dirty Dance, Cotton Eyed Joe, and MJ. While the entire group follows along with the steps as they are called, the young lady in the black not only follows the steps but adds to them with her fluidity and spunky vibe.

She’s Not New to This She’s True to This

It’s no wonder the teen moves so effortlessly through each step as her mother says in the YouTube comments she has been dancing since before she was 2 years old. While the performance in the video was only her second year attending the National Clogging Convention, her natural ease comes from her experience with dances like tap, hip hop, and more. “I can feel her soul speak when she dances,” says the youth’s mom who is obviously extremely proud of her daughter.

When You Have It and It Shows

It didn’t take but a second to see who the star of that clog dance was as the teenager just automatically stood out without even trying very hard. Some of the commenters on the video were saying that she was a natural superstar, the best dancer they’ve ever seen. Others said they enjoyed watching her and how she just flowed with every step like a professional. She should be on Dancing With the Stars.

A Tradition that Has Every Generation Smiling

The smile that can be seen on the young lady’s face as she Kick Steps and Bird Walks on beat is the same smile that can be seen on the faces of clog dancers nationwide. The combination of the instruments along with the type of dance steps have been the joy of many Saturday nights for generations of American families.

Movement Is Good for Your Body and Soul

Dancing is probably one of the most favorite pastimes besides eating and playing games. Although, according to the young lady’s mother, she won’t be clog dancing anymore; she instead wants to spend more time working on other forms of dance such as tap, hip hop, etc. Nevertheless, the way this young lady’s rhythm is setup coupled with her It factor, she will probably be a star no matter what genre of dance she is in.

At the age of 16, Melissa McCabe completed her high school studies in the summer of 2022.

Traditionally, it is common to attend the prom with a young man, but Melissa decided to break conventions by choosing her one-and-a-half-year-old son, Arthur, as her companion.

Melissa expressed her desire to involve her son in the most important day of her life.

For the occasion, Melissa bought a suit with a jacket and a bow tie for her son, and together, they attended the graduation ceremony.

Melissa and Arthur quickly became a sensation, drawing attention from everyone, including teachers, who were deeply moved by this adorable boy and wanted to hold him in their arms and admire how handsome he looked in his suit.

Teachers who had previously ignored Melissa during her studies now expressed pride in her achievements.

According to Melissa, Arthur really enjoyed the graduation ceremony, especially the treats he was given.

She shared photos of her prom with her son on TikTok, captioning: “While everyone goes to prom with their boyfriend, I went with my greatest blessing.”

The post quickly went viral, garnering over 2 million views.

Melissa gave birth to Arthur in November 2020 when she was only 15 years old, and she is raising him as a single parent.

Although it has been challenging, Melissa remains resilient and determined.

Unfortunately, people often mistake Arthur for her younger brother, and when they discover he is actually her child, they tend to pass judgments.

Against all odds, Melissa succeeded in her exams and plans to start university in September.

The scene is set with Aunt’s enthusiastic singing, a valiant attempt to entertain and delight the baby. With all the enthusiasm in the world, Aunt belts out her favorite tunes, but her rendition doesn’t quite match the baby’s discerning taste.

The rest of the family is doubled over with laughter, appreciating the hilarious contrast between Aunt’s passionate performance and the baby’s unimpressed expression. It’s a comedy of errors, a moment when the audience becomes the performers.

The baby, perched in a highchair, gazes at Aunt with an expression that seems to say, “Are you serious?” Their raised eyebrow and pursed lips speak volumes, creating a hilarious tableau of mismatched expectations.

In this light-hearted family moment, laughter becomes the bridge that connects generations. It’s a reminder that humor is subjective, and sometimes, the funniest moments are the ones where we don’t quite get the punchline. Aunt’s singing may not have won the baby’s approval, but it certainly won their hearts, and in that shared laughter, family bonds grow stronger.

That must have been such a heartwarming and memorable moment for your family! A baby’s first word is a significant milestone in their development, and the fact that she said it when she saw her dad adds an extra layer of sweetness to the moment. It’s a clear sign of the special bond between the two of them.

These early moments of communication are precious and mark the beginning of a lifelong journey of sharing love and experiences. Cherish these moments as they are truly magical.

This little flower girl knew she wanted to do something extra special for the bride and groom on their wedding day. So she enlisted her mom, a bridesmaid, to help out with this adorable duet of ‘Love Is An Open Door.’ Does it get any cuter than this?

This toddler was moved by the Holy Spirit as he sings ‘God Only Knows’ by For King And Country. When the Holy Spirit hits you—you just dance or sing, right? God works and moves in mysterious ways. We do not need to be a well accomplished person with a big platform for God to use us. We don’t need to be a certain age either. In fact, God worked through toddler Knox as a witness to thousands on TikTok.
This sweet little boy is blessed to have parents raising him in an affectionate home where God is at the center. This loving home not only talks about God, but follows Jesus. And the sweetest part—they listen to worship music. Where worship music plays, you will often find God on the move in the form of the Holy Spirit. In this instance, the Holy Spirit moves through this toddler’s spirit as he listens to a powerful worship song.

For King And Country released ‘God Only Knows,’ in 2018 on the album ‘Burn The Ships.’ It quickly moved up the music charts as the second record breaking song for nineteen weeks.

This is the type of song that resonates with people because it speaks of the inward struggles no one sees but God. We all carry shame, we’ve got our struggles, but God knows our hearts and God carries us in our darkest moments with a supernatural love. This toddler seems to sense God whispering to him about His deep, vast, amazing love. Doesn’t it just make your heart melt? It sure melted his mama’s heart. After Knox’s mom captured him on camera praising our mighty God, she later posted it to TikTok where it’s been viewed over 273,000 times!

Indeed, God only knows. God only knows what’s in our hearts and God only knows how we’re feeling and just what we need.

May we all take a lesson from this sweet, adorable toddler—let’s take a moment to close our eyes, invite the Holy Spirit to come and move in our hearts too!

Everyone has been given a limited amount of time on this earth. How we choose to spend that valuable commodity will make all the difference. As anyone with grandchildren knows, time spent with them is priceless. There is nothing in the world a grandma or grandpa would rather do than enjoy quality time with their granddaughter or grandson.

One video posted on TikTok shows a granddaughter’s pure, unbridled joy at the arrival of her grandfather. The video begins with a sweet little girl peeking anxiously outside. Text on the bottom of the screen appears, which explains what exactly has the child so excited.

“My dad takes my daughter to school every morning & it’s their favorite thing ever,” the text reads.

Seconds into the video, the little girl turns, faces the camera and shouts “Ippy!” “Ippy,” the video points out, is what the child calls her grandfather.

Once the child spots “Ippy,” she simply cannot contain herself. She proceeds to jump up and down joyously several times as she exclaims “Ippy!”

Then, about halfway through the short, 30-second video, viewers spot Ippy outside. At first, the grandfather appears to be making his way to the house, walking toward the front door. But he’s stopped in his tracks. The little girl gets his attention by excitedly knocking on the window.

The grandfather walks over to the window and greets his granddaughter with both arms raised. He then waves excitedly at the little girl, who obviously loves him to pieces.

The cute, precious video concludes with the grandfather and granddaughter holding hands and walking off the front porch as they begin their daily journey to school.

What a sweet and beautiful moment that shows the love and special bond between a granddaughter and her grandfather.

Amanda Russell and her family were capturing video of her little son, Declan, taking some of his first baby steps. But as the child took a step or two unaided, he suddenly caught an earful of the song playing in the background, and his tentative walking turned into subtle dancing before you can say, “boogie.”

With his eyes on the person filming, Declan does a little hip wiggle and shoulder roll combo that makes his family immediately crack up. They’re still laughing hysterically as the baby turns around, grabs the oven door, and starts shaking his diaper-clad booty in time with the music. It’s impossibly cute, and we’re delighted they shared it with the world!

Watch Declan the dancing baby in the video below, and be sure to share to make others giggle too.

A video of the sister and brother singing the famous song was also posted on YouTube last December.

They both sang and performed the world famous hit You Raise Me Up in front of the camera.

The songs performed by 16-year-old Lucy Thomas and her 11-year-old sister Martha Thomas have already become a real hit on the network. To date, YouTube alone has collected more than half a million views.
The sisters together performed the world famous hit You Raise Me Up, which was first presented to the world in 2002 by the duo Secret Garden. He sang the song in his own version, mostly thanks to musician Josh Groban.

Sisters Lucy Thomas and Martha Thomas listen to the world famous 2002 hit “You Raise Me Up”. Will they attract you with their voices?

The boy, who had spent many years with foster parents, had no idea that his “family” was looking for a way to get away from him, as if nothing had happened, and unfortunately, they found a way to do it.

Adopting a child and giving him the life he or she deserves should always be the highest business of humanity, especially for children who were not cared for by their biological parents.

Anthony’s adoptive parents loved him and, instead of being close to his illness and health, one day they took him to the hospital and left him there.

Worst of all, the act of “giving up” the son was legal.

Most of us think the adoption will end as soon as we sign the document, but one unfortunate boy has learned to suffer so much that you can cancel your child like a Netflix subscription.
At four years old, Anthony thought he would be happy if he was adopted into a loving family.

Sadly, seven years later, Anthony’s parents took him to the hospital in an unexplained state and accidentally threw him away like trash and everything fell apart.
Take it – their actions were completely legal!

All the promises of an eternal family were thrown out the window, and the boy was left alone, abandoned, frightened and depressed.

Those who knew about the sad fate of this boy could not believe that there are people like his parents. They took care of him for seven years and left him when he needed it most.

The story of Anthony was shared on Love What Matters.

“He didn’t know when or if they were ever coming back for him because he was not in on the plan they orchestrated to abandon their child. Most people could not conceive that a parent could do this to a child, yet this was not their first time. You see, they did the exact same thing to their other adopted son a couple of years before, sadly enough.”

But then, a man named Peter Mutabazi came across Anthony’s path when he least expected and changed his life.

Peter had a hard childhood. He used to live with an abusive father in a secluded village near Rwanda and Uganda. The ordeals he was forced to go through during his young years made him vow he would help children who experience hardship in life.

Once in the U.S., Peter started a successful real estate business in Oklahoma and he could finally afford to make his dream of helping kids in need of love and a family come true.

Peter’s journey into fostering began with two brothers whom he grew fond of the moment he meet them. However, taking care of them didn’t last long as the Family Court decided to reunite them with their biological parents.

Peter was happy for them, but at the same time he felt heartbroken to be separated from them. So when he was contacted about a boy who he was supposed to look after “just for the weekend” he hesitated whether to agree or not.

Eventually, he said yes, but decided not to ask anything about the boy’s background. That’s when Anthony entered Peter’s life.

What Peter didn’t know was that “just over the weekend” would in fact turn into a lifetime.

“Never in my wildest dreams did I anticipate I would be parenting the child of two parents who had led lives that passed the extensive background check standards involved with parenting foster children, only just to abandon not one, but two of their children.”

When Monday arrived, Peter couldn’t help but ask the social worker about Anthony’s life. The answer he got broke his heart into a million pieces. He could never imagine how this loving boy was abandoned twice, once by his biological parents and the other time by his cruel adopters.

Peter didn’t even know it was legal for adoptive parents to get rid of the kids just like that.

The social worker added how Anthony’s case was simply labeled as a “failed adoption.” It was then that Peter knew he couldn’t be another person who would fail this boy who has gone through so much.

“They signed an agreement relinquishing their parental rights and never looked back. I was completely shocked! I could not believe what I was hearing. I began to cry out of anger for what these people had done to this 11-year-old child.”
