Gotta Dance

So both Noodle & Spud have been the kinds of kids that can’t NOT dance when they hear music playing. I remember in Brazil, we had Noodle in the sling and were walking around the shopping district. Every store was pumping out different tunes through their open doors, and she would just start bobbing and grooving in the sling. Spud is the same way, though now it seems he doesn’t even need music. He just has to get excited enough. Last night when David came home, Spud got up and walked over to him and then just danced and danced while grinning like crazy. Later that night he was in the tub and was splashing and getting more excited, and finally he just busted out his dance moves again. It really is one of the cutest things. He’s also started trying to incorporate hops and one leg up dance moves, which is pretty advanced for a 12 month old little guy.

For Christmas I got the kids some play silks, as I knew they’d be great fun for dress-up and our frequent dance parties. Both of the kids (and me, too) love them. Nothing adds flair to your dance moves like brightly colored silks. We usually just wave them around, but David made a skirt out of them the other night, so the kids were having lots of fun twirling.
