Maddie received an MP3 player for Christmas which came preloaded with about 15 songs, and I listen to all of them at least 2-3 hours each day, I have to admit -- I rather enjoy a few of them... with my personal favorite, "Limbs Akimbo".
I sing along where I can, and then today I realized -- I had no clue what this song title even meant? Foreign language maybe? or just a word that's not in my arsenal?
With a 2-year-plus-8-month-old daughter and a 5 month old son, life can get kind of repetitive on the weekends, sort of a do-loop -- I am always looking for something new to do. So I jumped at the exciting opportunity to further explore the word "Akimbo". With a clear definition in hand, I could confidently sing along and teach my daughter at the same time. Here you have it:
Akimbo: is a human body position in which the hands are on the hips and the elbows are bowed outward, or bent/bowed in a more general sense
...and the song link to boot. There's a flute solo in this one that puts Ron Burgundy to shame.
