Dancing Queen

Mandy is our little dancer. Anytime she hears a song, she starts to dance. She told us the other day that she was going to do a Mommy dance. So she did this funny little dance, complete with some break dance moves and disco flair. Then she told us that she was going to do a Daddy dance. She began her dance and we noticed that it looked oddly familiar. She then performed her Dallin dance, followed by a Layton dance. Somehow, even though each performance was named differently, the dances were identical. I guess she has only choreographed one routine and didn't feel like changing it for the benefit of our entertainment.


The following day, after watching Kit Kittredge (which I loved), while the credits were rolling a song came on that Mandy decided to dance to. Then Nathan, who I think purposefully chose to wait until I had taken a sip of Sprite, joined in and did a surprisingly good (and almost Sprite spewing hilarious) rendition of the Mommy/Daddy/ Dallin/Layton dance that Mandy had performed for us the day before. However he wouldn't let me take a picture of him doing it. So just look at these two pictures and imagine Nathan doing these exact same moves. Much too funny for words.

Nathan reminds me of how your own daddy responded to your ballet dancing. Do you remember? Love you, Mama

Thanks for reminding me of that Mama. I'll have to ask Daddy if he remembers :)
