All Amazing Babies

Before Violet Burdick ever appeared on the Ellen DeGeneres Show, she had made a name for herself on the internet. Despite being just five-years-old, Violet was quite the singer and knew how to capture the attention of her audience. As it turned out, Violet was raised by father Ryan Burdick, a musician in his local scene, who made sure Violet was involved in music from a very young age – because of his dedication to music, Violet has gained a lot of attention from her awesome singing abilities.

Violet’s parents had not known, but the little girl’s aunt sent the video of her singing to the producers of Ellen’s show. When Ryan received a call from the show, he was amazed, to say the least. But as the man who helped foster the little girl’s singing abilities all her life, he shouldn’t have been too surprised that his daughter would become a viral sensation because of her voiceBefore Ryan knew it, the producers of the Ellen Show had booked Violet for an upcoming appearance. This meant that dad’s little girl would be showcasing her singing abilities for the entire nation.

“This whole thing was amazing, and it’s all Aunt Erin’s fault,” Ryan told Violet.

Before Ryan and his daughter were able to board a plane from their hometown of Scio, New York, to Ellen’s set in Los Angeles, they had to make sure they were not carrying the coronavirus. Dad and daughter received their COVID-19 test and were able to board the plane and fly to Hollywood. When they landed, they were asked to take another COVID-19 test. They had to take the third test when they were in the car on the way to the studio to meet with Ellen and her team.]

During their appearance on the talk show, Violet and her dad talked about how much they loved Dolly Parton. They not only shared their love for her music but for the good work Parton has been doing by giving back to her community through the Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library. They also related to Parton because of her poor upbringing and applauded her efforts to help fund research for the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine by donating a million dollars at the beginning of the pandemic.
After the chat came to an end, Ellen wanted to hear young Violet sing. So what song does she pick but a classic from Dolly Parton herself? With her dad strumming away on the guitar, Violet began belting out the words to Parton’s hit song, “Joleen.”

Violet enthralled the audience, and the video of her performance soon went viral on the internet. But the good times were not done rolling. When the daddy-daughter duo finished their performance, Ellen gave them one last surprise – an all-expenses-paid vacation to Dollywood in Tennessee.

Now, Ryan plans to teach Violet a musical instrument, so she can accompany her own singing. And maybe she’ll return to Ellen’s show again sometime.

“That is one nice thing about that show. They follow up with the child performers and to see them later and how they progressed. That is fun,” Ryan said.

Here’s a video that could definitely be in the “daily dose of cuteness” category. I love it because it shows two little girls who definitely have their own ideas about how the dance should be done.

A lot of people who watch this video think the little girl on the left stole the show. But I think the girl on the right is every bit as unique with her movements and hammed it up as much has her partner on the left.]]

Apparently, this video was originally Christmas themed because it was a Christmas recital and the girls were dancing to, “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus.” They had to remove that song because they didn’t have the copyrights and didn’t want to pay for them.

It doesn’t make much difference to me because it’s the unique dancing by the two girls on the end that really make this worth watching. So we’re taking off the “Christmas” tag and saying this video is about individual performance art–you go, girl!

Amazing. Watch the video below and please leave us a Facebook comment to let us know what you thought!

They say when one door closes, a window opens. Or, in this case, maybe 3 windows open.

When Kellee Briggs of Ankeny, Iowa found out she was pregnant, she and husband Nick Briggs were overjoyed. But at their 10-week ultrasound, Kellee could tell from the technician’s face that something was wrong. Sadly, the test showed three amniotic sacs, but only one fetus remained.

Doctors explained that Kellee had been pregnant with triplets, but two of the babies had not survived. While they were thrilled that one baby was viable, the new mom always wondered about what could have been. Her son Chase was born healthy and on time.

“The one baby, Chase, which is our survivor, you’d see him fully formed but the other two sacs just looked like empty holes,” Kellee explained. “I’ve lost two babies and it was a lot of emotions all flooding in at the same time.”

The family didn’t have long to grieve their loss before something remarkable happened. Ten months after delivering Chase, Kellee was pregnant again.This time, Nick and Kellee were more prepared when they went for an ultrasound. Kellee says she “had a gut feeling” that she might be carrying multiples again. Although they don’t have a family history of multiples and Kellee is not taking any fertility drugs, doctors told her that older mothers tend to produce more eggs with each cycle, resulting in more multiple births in older moms.

At the ultrasound, the technician confirmed Kellee’s instincts. Once again, she was expecting three babies!

“We looked at each other right away and we knew exactly what it looked like having the multiple sacs,” Nick recalled. “We said to the tech, ‘There’s multiples aren’t there?’ and she looks and she’s like, ‘Yep.’”

Getting pregnant with triplets is rare enough; only about 1 in every 9,000 births are triplets. Two triplet pregnancies back-to-back is crazy-rare, about 1 in 64 million!

Kellee grappled with anxiety throughout the pregnancy as she worried about losing her babies again.

“I was hesitant almost because I was afraid of getting attached,” she said. “I didn’t want to get attached and then lose one,” she admitted.
She hoped to stay pregnant as long as she could to increase their chances of survival, and she made it! She wound up having a C-section at 32 weeks gestation and welcomed two boys and a girl to their family. Aiden, Addalyn, and Isaac all spent some time in the NICU before coming home in the exact order of their birth.

Nick and Kellee are now getting used to life with 4 children under the age of two. They go through about 30 diapers a day and a whole can of formula to keep everyone happy, but the chaos is worth it for these grateful parents. Kellee says she relies on the help of friends and family to get through her days, and Nick thinks it’s all about taking one thing at a time.

“You just got to stop and relax and go with the flow,” Nick said. “It’s all you really can do at this point because you’re trying to keep your head above water.”

It seems that Kellee and Nick were destined to be these babies’ parents! We wish them the best of luck as they get through these next few days, weeks, months… and years!

So it’s not like anybody keeps good records or anything, but it’s probably safe to assume there are a lot fewer cowboys and cowgirls around now than there used to be. According to data from the U.S. Census Bureau, around 39% of the population lived in rural areas in 1960, while approximately 61% lived in urban areas. By 2020, 20% more of the U.S. population had moved into cities and the numbers were 19% rural and 81% urban.
But all you cowboy fans can take a little comfort from this video because it shows that although there might be fewer cowboys around, there are still young ones coming up. And if this little guy is any indication, they are going to be a formidable force–at least on the dance floor.

This little kid is dancing to Alan Jackson’s 1997 hit, “Little Bitty,” which hit number one on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart and was nominated for Single of the Year at the Country Music Association Awards. The song speaks to the whole rural lifestyle, emphasizing the importance of taking pleasure in the little things in life and not always focusing on getting to the “big time.”

So it’s just wonderful to watch this toddler bust out the country dance moves to this song. Clearly he understand the importance of living the good life and he shows us all how great it can be to be “little bitty.” Watch the short video below and please leave us a Facebook comment to let us know what you thought!

You will smile after watching these babies dance.

Even 2-year-olds in pink clothes. Only five of them executed the routine. The last toddler refused
Melissa L. Potts’ kid opted to have a tantrum on stage. The baby was sad.
Every girl wants to be a princess. Most desire to wear pink dresses, perform ballet, and live in a fairy-tale world with music, magic, and princes on horses.

Melissa’s daughter is indifferent. At this point, she’d punch a dragon. Her buddy attempted to assist her when she was heard weeping over the music.

She refused. No one knows what upset her, but we know how toddlers react.

They can’t handle emotions yet, so they act out.

Weeping and throwing tantrums.

And she’s two.

Public toddler outbursts are frustrating. Both parents and others need empathy and tolerance.

Parenting For The Brain:

«A temper tantrum is a maelstrom of wrath, loss, disappointment, and frustration. In 2-year-olds, emotional outbursts may lead to sobbing, thrashing, screaming fits, stomping, striking parents, falling down, kicking, biting, throwing items, beating the head, or breath holding.

If only grownups could do the same!

Melissa’s kid isn’t different. Perhaps she was hungry or exhausted before going onstage. Nobody enjoys uncomfortable situations.

Her companion is nice. See that young girl?

The cute dancer tries to comfort the sobbing dancer, but then turns away and shrugs. She was powerless.

Toddlers can’t manipulate or reason. Thus, their uncontrollable meltdowns.

like a stressed-out grownup. Instead of crying, we go to the bars. It’s OK to weep, however.

The surviving five dance while the sixth member is still unhappy. Potts cried in front of an amused crowd.

Oh no, I hope she received wonderful gifts. She’s a lovely princess no matter what. Meltdowns are normal. Milk!

A country with the most people, spanning five geographical time zones and bordering fourteen countries by land, which is the most of any country in the world. It is one of the world’s oldest civilizations, boasting of a rich history, rooted in culture, art, and many other aspects that has helped shaped the modern world today. In fact, music and dance have been very much a part of China’s history that each of those emperors gave importance to them. They’re big on honoring tradition while embracing the modern, so they teach their kids at really young ages to appreciate their ancestry before embracing modern ideologies.

This adorable little Chinese girl seems to embody those principles. Her age is anyone’s guess but the way this little girl moves is totally out of this world. You’re looking at years of practice and training here. There’s a running joke about how Asian parents raise their kids, enrolling them in many classes and extracurricular activities to keep them busy, and that seems to apply here. Thousands and thousands of history and culture can still be seen today should you find yourself in that part of the world. You don’t even need to hit up the museums. Just attend these dance events and you’ll witness culture and history easy. She’s really into dancing. Her look, her posture, and the way she delivers those moves seems to indicate a natural, and a star in the making.

See, it’s not that simple when talking about dance in China. Dance is a highly varied art form in the country, consisting of many modern and traditional genres. You’ll get anything from folk dances to performances in opera and ballet. There are also dances for public celebrations, rituals and ceremonies. All in all, there are 56 officially recognized ethnic groups in China, so each ethnic minority group has its own folk dances. Then you have the youth who are able to create and combine different styles.

She’s not alone either. Look at all those kids around her, dancing away in gorgeous outfits. It looks like a mix of ballroom and traditional, doesn’t it? One of the few comments in English says, “I adore this little one she has sass and attitude that says I’m going to be a star. And believe she will.” Talk about rhythm and body control. Now imagine how much better she’ll be in a decade and more! She’ll only get better, and perhaps bring fame and glory to her motherland. Talk about a higher level of dedication and passion. Check out her adorably sassy moves in the video below! Please SHARE this with your friends and family.

She gives it her all, and we love it!

Children are unique in their manner of singing. They don’t know how to hide their emotions. This little charmer named Sophia is simply mesmerizing with her performance. Instead of just opening her mouth, while making incomprehensible sounds, she gives herself to the process with all her feelings. The mother of the future artist filmed the concert on video to capture her daughter’s bright and emotional performance. The children on the left and right sing, opening their mouths a little, but Sophia stands out from the crowd with her pronounced, memorable behavior on stage.

The video won many hearts. Choir is an operatic number for a choral ensemble (often mixed, sometimes male, female or children). Usually depicts the presence of a “collective character”, a group of witnesses or accomplices or a crowd of people. Occasionally it is used as an impersonal commentary or as a technique for creating a “liturgical” color. This is now a choir artist – a completely respected and professional staff unit. Well, maybe not the most highly paid, but certainly living the same creative life with the opera house.

I’ve posted a number of articles about little girls and their dance recitals. If you’ve ever been to one, you know they are generally long, a little tedious and the best you can hope for is a group that is either very good or very bad. Well here’s one that’s the latter and the result is hilarious.

These girls are from the Elizabeth Fraser School of Highland Dancing and while I’m not sure of their ages, they look to be about five to nine years old. They were dancing at the Massed Pipe Band Fundraiser in Nairn, Scotland, in support of Cantraybridge College near Inverness.

Their dance is supposed to be a “display of Pas de Basques and Highcuts”. But what it looks like, unfortunately, is a dance parody! The older girls seem to know the routine and are generally in step, but the younger girls are either doing the mirror image of what they are supposed to do or they simply do their own thing.

Either way, it’s pretty funny once the bagpipes start. Watch the full video below and please leave us a Facebook comment to let us know what you thought!
