Spiders and Dancing

We have so much fun with Calder.

I was singing "the itsy bitsy spider" to Calder the other day. It had been a while since we had sung that particular song, and he LOVED it!  Every time I finished, he kept asking for it again.  and again.  and again.  We probably sang it at least 10 times in a row.  But then all the sudden, Calder hopped up (he was sitting on the floor), grabbed Craig's flip flop that was on the floor, ran to the kitchen, and smacked the shoe against one of the cupboards.  I guess he made the connection what the song was really about- spiders.  Apparently he has adopted a similar attitude towards them that I have, too. (even though there wasn't really a spider on the cupboard, he would know what to do if there was one!)

Every so often, Craig will turn on some music, and we will both dance in the living room. You know, crazy dancing, with the music turned up.  Sometimes we would hold Calder while we danced, and sometimes Calder would just sit on the couch, watch, and laugh. Until last night. The music turned on, and Calder started dancing just like we were (at least trying really hard to).  I have never seen him dance with so much enthusiasm before!  It was incredible. :) My little guy is growing up.
