So I think I can dance

I haven't talked about my latest hobby, but The Boy and I have been going to dance classes for over a year now. We started with salsa last year but we kind of got bored with it late last year. At around the same time, we discovered zouk lambada. Let me tell you, if we hadn't prepaid for an entire term, we might never have made it to the second lesson. The Boy HATED the first term. Zouk is much dancier than salsa and I think it was very challenging for him.

Luckily, he had a chance to relearn the basics in a more gradual way and he grew to love it. Mostly, he loves the music and as his dancing improved, he grew to love the dance.

Or maybe he loves it because there are never enough guys to partner with, and there are some very hot chicks dancing zouk.

Anyway, a few people have asked me what zouk is. It's actually what the music is called and the actual dance is like a slow lambada (hence, zouk lambada). This video shows about the level that we're at (sorry, can't embed).

That's how I think I dance. In reality, you'd have to double the dancer's weight and make her a bit shorter and, obviously, what I see in the mirror? Doesn't come close to what she looks like. But in my mind the resemblance is uncanny!

(And if you're not that impressed, here's a more advanced routine.)

And in other news, Smurfette is no longer on the boob. When offered, she basically laughs in my face and runs off to find real breakfast with Daddy. Of course, when I mention "boob" at night, she's all over me like it's the only thing that can possibly make her happy. A little actress, that one.

Munchkin is almost fully weaned, too, but I have a confession to make. She was probably already self-weaned, but I cajoled her back to the boob. She might be the last baby I breastfeed, and I'm not sure I'm ready to let go yet. I love that she gets cranky when she can't find me in the morning. Even if she only stays for about 2 minutes before she runs off to find real breakfast with Daddy.
