Sam started dance class last month and we have been amazed at how much he has taken to the idea of dancing.  The theory behind the dance class isn't so much about dance at this age as it is about body movement.  Sam comes home from class every Thursday and shows us the moves or "shapes" that he learned that day at class.  It has clearly been a wonderful thing for Sam and he loves going to class.

We now have as a part of our daily routine a time for "tricks."  This is where Sam, Maya, Daddy, and Maya take turns doing "tricks" with our bodies.  It is super fun watching Sam be so creative with his moves.  Between jumps, standing on one foot, different roll over techniques, etc...
