Dance-Off in the Kitchen
May. 6th, 2010 07:51 pmWhen I came home from the office today, Harper decided to shun me. Each time I would turn toward her or talk to her, she would look down or away with a big frown on her face.
So, I got in the middle of the floor, started singing the music and lyrics to "Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)" and busted a move. After about 20 seconds, Harper looked up. I switched to doing the Roger Rabbit and a HUGE GRIN broke out across her face.
"Dance, too! Dance, too!" Harper squealed as she climbed off the chair and ran to me.
I thought she wanted to dance with me, but NO!
"Move, Dada, move!" was her chant as I was pushed from the middle of the floor to the side. My little girl then walked to the center of the floor and began to dance and spin with occasional aggressive rushes at me. It was as if she had the fight scenes from "West Side Story" being played out between periods of running and spinning in circles. I think the girl was schooling me.
