The Dance

This has to be a fast one because I only have 10 minutes until midnight and in order to have a post every day, well, I'm pretty OCD about having accurate dates.

Highlight for today: While watching an episode of Everybody Loves Raymond wherein Ray and Deborah dance together at a wedding, Micaiah slid down off of her daddy's lap, stood in the middle of the floor and held her hands out to him, saying "Das" (that's Micaiah-speak for "Dance"). And, thus, he proceeded to hold her hands as they danced together in our living room. Granted, our daughter has yet to learn the art of the slow dance, so there was a lot of booty wiggling and some strange dance move wherein they alternated lifting their legs sumo-wrestler style, but it was precious nonetheless.

And that's what makes the middle of the night feedings at this point with Emmett worth it. He may never ask his daddy to slow dance (or, I'm kind of hoping he doesn't), but he will definitely do something equally as precious (who knows, maybe I'll finally get to do a little dancing myself ;) ) someday. Oh, who am I kidding, one dimpled smile out of that kid (gas or not) makes it all worth it right now.
