Edward Yudenich, a 7-year-old conductor.  It is SO much fun watching him!  If you don’t have time for the whole 9 minute movie, at least watch to the 2:30 minute mark to see him conduct with his arms folded 😀

Anna: “The zucchini?”

Isaiah: “Yes!  It felt like someone was tickling us!”

A little while later he said, “It’s legs were all bended up, so I blew on it and they spread out and I counted them.”

 

 

Noah: “Sometimes Isaiah pretends he is dead, so then I tickle him to see if he’s really dead or not.”
