My exciting day thus far...went to the grocery store, fed the boy, Febreezed the comforter, ate lunch myself, and wondered why the computer keeps flickering. So, what's a mom and little tyke to do on a cold, overcast day in the middle of February after the nap? Light a fire, put on oldies and dance, of course!
Yep, once the knucklehead gets up, it will be time for a Nunez Family Dance Party. I love introducing him to music that predates him (and me, for that matter.) I love watching him discover new ways to move his body and new rhythms to clap. His current repertoire of dance moves include "Flamingo," "Elvis," and "Football Run." I love how he giggles and gets so tickled with himself that he runs at his full speed to crash into me. I can't help but smile when he dances, giggles, then looks back at me with a cheesy grin for my approval. But if I start dancing with him, he begs to be picked up and danced with in my arms.
This is fine for about two minutes. Then I remember he weighs 31 pounds! If I put him down, he just wants up again. So I get my cardio workout by jumping, bouncing, swaying, and generally be a silly goose with him in my arms. It wears me out to the point that I then want a nap. Which of course, I won't get. But I am one lucky momma!
I hear the stirrings of a toddler, so I will sign off the computer and DANCE!
