Dancing

This week Dani has been really interested in dancing to songs on the TV. If I even mention the word "Backyardigans" she says "baa" and starts to dance. I try to keep the TV off most of the time, but after a couple of hours trying to put her to sleep,I need a break. Dani is teething again, so naps have been short or nonexistent. Today for example, she had one ten minute nap even though I spent three hours spread across the day trying to calm her to sleep. She was exhausted, but she just refused to sleep. At these times, the TV is the ONLY thing that calms her down, keeps her from constantly hurting herself from falls and gives me a break. As you can see from the mess on the floor, she had had a particularly busy day already. Ironically, she seems to sleep less on days when I try to keep the TV off, but I still try. Anyway, here is the most exaggerated dance I've seen her do for the camera. Since she knows the camera is on, it is short because she wanted to show the camera her books, but it's still cute.
