It was no surprise to me that my baby, Marigrace would love to dance. It all started with her swinging on the umbilical cord in the womb. Whenever she heard music she would have a dance party in my belly. She practically did the “running man” on her way out.
My oldest daughter also loves to dance. She lives and breathes it. Much of her free time is spent dancing in our basement. Marigrace has been dancing along since before she could walk. She would sit in her bouncy seat and kick her legs to the beat of the music. Once she was finally up on two feet she was able to perfect her dance moves. The “One Shoulder Shimmy” is our favorite but “The Travolta” and her moonwalk are also pretty impressive for a twenty month old.
Don’t believe me? Here’s video proof to show that I’m not just a bragging mother. Okay, I am bragging but her dance skills are too good to not brag about. I’m thinking she could win the Best Little Dancer in America competition or at least some Stride Rite shoes from the PBN Blog Blast. C’mon people. Indulge me. I promise you won’t be disappointed.

Can you say Viral Video? Soon we will see that vid on sites across America, receive it in e-mails, and watch it again on that VH1 show (whatever it’s called, that plays the online vids of the week… have you seen that?)
Next will be commercial offers, sitcom offers, MOVIE offers!
Um… and if not? Still freakin’ hilarious. (And cute!!)

Too Cute! I didn’t realize that our diddos were the same age! Kaia can get giggy, but not like that, she is more of a runner/climber. I think you may have something with that little cutie’s dance skills.
