Dance. Dance. Dance.
Ana Isabel is going on 19 months and already she's a dancing queen.
She twirls in the living room, arms flailing, singing a version of la la la la la. She bends at her waist slightly and shakes her little behind. Often, she insists mommy or papi join her, pointing her little finger to a spot on the dance floor, which doubles as the rug. And we do.
I can just imagine our neighbors walking by the front of the house and seeing through the windows two adults, arms gesticulating and going in circles. No matter. It's a lot of fun.
But it does bring me to this: At what point does a child's passing fancy turn into something more?
Do we have the next Ginger Rogers grooving in our living room? Probably not. But one never knows.

You should always join her on the dance floor (remember that song - if you get the choice to sit it out or dance, I hope you dance...). When she's a teenager and won't be caught dead with you, you'll wish for these days back. So I say dance like nobody's watching!!! And catch some of it on video just in case she does turn out to be Ginger. You'll have something to sell to the tabloids....
