Learning to dance

It stands to reason POD should love music. For the last four months of my pregnancy she got to listen to some absolute classics. Two hours a day on my journey to and from the office.

Although I’m *allegedly* tone deaf, I’m sure my singing was the reason her foot was frequently wedged in my rib-cage. I used to tickle it so I could breathe again.

It was a superb moment when POD danced for the first time. Totally unprompted too. She put her hands on her hips and wiggled her little bottom from side to side. It was almost the perfect ‘Dad dance’.

She’s been dancing in this way for a while now and over the weekend we had a breakthrough. The hands on the hips wiggle was notably present but new moves had been added. POD spun round and waved her arms in the air like she was at a gig. At times it even looked liked she was listening to the music. An amazing display for a toddler who turned two on Christmas Day.

We caught it on video as well. So let me introduce you to this short of POD dancing to Radioactive by Imagine Dragons. Surely she must be one of their youngest fans?
