just saw a video of BC that spans the years from when she is about 7 months old until she is 2.5.

at 13 months, she is batting herself around to smokey robinson's you've really got a hold on me. she had just learned to walk, so it is a sloooooow dance.

at about 18 months, i have her dancing to groove is in the heart, and boy, is it a goof. i have to move her arms around, lift her up, and all sorts of sly-looking moves.

at 2.5, she is twirling around the room to the bangles' hero takes a fall. all on her own.

now, it takes nothing at all to get her to dance. thus:
1) it is no surprise that i have raised jr. gene gene the dance machine; and,
2) i am, and i guess i can say i have always been, a little bit weirder than the other moms i know.
