Dearest Lily:
Today I want to tell you about how much I love your dancing! It is a day-brightener for sure! You are into any and all kinds of music these days, but your favorite tunes to dance to are the ones Pandora plays on their Sesame Street channel. (Especially songs sung by Elmo and The Count!) We don't watch much TV around here, so in your mind, the TV is for playing music. When we walk into a room that has a TV, or you see my phone, you begin swaying and trying to communicate through your dancing that you want the music turned on so you can "officially" start dancing. You wiggle, stomp, twirl, shake it and clap for as long as the tunes are playing. It is super cute and my favorite part is seeing the sheer joy on your face while you are dancing and your delight in applauding the performers at the end of each song.
You especially love it when we turn on some tunes, hold you close and dance around the house. I used to do that a lot with you when you were a baby as when music was on and we were dancing around, you would stop crying and it was a lot of fun to do together as well! I hope this freedom and joy in your spirit that emerges when you dance never disappears, for it is truly life giving- especially to those who are blessed to get to see it! Keep dancing sweet girl!
