Usher, look out

OOh, OOOh, this is important: Chas stood and boogied for the first time today! He stood in the middle of the living room and bounced up and down to music! Grinning with wide, four-tooth abandon. Any other parent knows that this is truly a fun moment in time. It’s the last time they’ll ever do that move without frowning and shoving out their lower jaw as if to say, “I’m so fly, look, I can dance (even though I feel like a total dork out here alone on the dance floor).”

By the afternoon, most of the neighborhood kids, who had overheard our singing at the pool, we all making up verses of their own.
