Let’s Boogie

For Christmas, I gave Michaela a game for the Wii U where you dance along with your Nickelodeon friends (Dora, Diego, et al). I thought it would be fun for her to bop to the music and that it would be something she could do in addition to her usual art, reading and imaginary play.

Today, out of the blue, she asked to put the game on. It was the first time she’s used it since Christmas. And she was into it– she had it on for a long time–even though she isn’t really good at doing the moves along with the characters. In fact, she’s really bad at it. As it turns out, in addition to brown skin and a button nose, Michaela also got my (non) sense of rhythm. Poor thing!
