Dance

Dance.

Why does it seem sometimes that two year olds know more about what's important in this world than we do? 

Things like not being preoccupied by the opinions of others, knowing to  stop and examine that next fascination, only laughing out loud, and of course never allowing a good dance song to go to waste. 

My oldest grandson has figured out that we can ask Alexa at a moments notice to play Justin Timberlake's Can't Stop the Feeling. Okay, his Mimi might have been responsible for teaching him this. 

However, we did find ourselves dancing an awful lot this past weekend. And when I say "we" that included all the grown-ups, the baby at times, and even little "Poochies." The only one who didn't join in the fun was not surprisingly the cat. 

It's a little hard to turn down the sheer adorableness, and smile of a two year old inviting you to dance. At one point after he retreated from the tub my daughter found him on the couch dancing to a "good song," and hollering "Alexa play Bebe Rexha!"

One thing I know for sure about this boy is he drinks in life with a tall straw, and we sure find ourselves laughing and dancing a lot. Aren't we fortunate?

"And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance, I hope you dance."
