I wish you could have been here. As we all sat around the living room, Bennett began to dance, casually at first, and then he got fired up and began dancing up a storm. He was so cute and we started laughing. Soon we were all laughing (Nanna, Papa, mom, and dad).
It seemed like our laughter energized him as he went faster and faster. He began to move toward the right as his arms and hips were swinging back and forth. I was holding my side by this time. As soon as he covered the distance of the living room, he spun around and twisted his way back to his original spot.
By now we were all gasping as we laughed. I remember thinking - I wish we had video taped this - I didn't say anything because I fully expected him to quit any second.
He had no intention of quitting. On and on he went, covering the span of the living room several more times. It was hysterical!!
All of a sudden, he dropped to the floor and began some kind of roll, push, roll break dance. I couldn't believe my eyes!! He navigated the span of the room several more times.
We laughed and laughed. According to his parents, he had never done this before and hasn't since. He was quite the entertainer!! (I think they said he had danced before - but never put on this kind of show)
We had a great visit. They had come the weekend before Thanksgiving. I feel blessed to get the chance to see my family. Rachel's family came in October, Michael's family came that weekend, and I flew to Ohio to see my sisters over Thanksgiving. I didn't take my camera to Ohio but I will be posting pictures of Bennett real soon.
You should have seen him!
