Bhutanese Dancing
Our little guy loves going into his Great Grandparents suite after his evening bath. There, he teases his Great Grandpa Hing by sticking out his tongue or just laughing in his face. He also loves cuddling with his Great Grandma I. Shen.
After our initial report of Erik walking his first steps, we also experienced our first heartbreaks of Erik falling :-(. He felled first when Mummy was on duty, basically Erik wanted to turn but his ankles locked up and Mummy wasn't fast enough to catch up...and thus PLOP! The side of his head fell onto the tile flooring WAH!!!
As if that wasn't bad enough, the same day, when Daddy was on duty, Erik fell backwards and hitting the back of his head on the same tile flooring! This time, while Erik cried and screamed, Mummy was also bawling away! Our poor baby!!!! WAH!
The next day, Erik seemed to take a bit a little more precaution and didn't want to attempt to walk. Perhaps he also felt our emotions and mood that we also were watching him like hawks and didn't want any more accidents, especially when head hits tile. SIGH!
However, last night, he overcame that initial fear. He went up to his Great Grandparents suite and the TV was blasting with Bhutanese song and music where dancers are dancing away. Our little Erik was overcome with "Happy Feet" and had to attempt walking and dancing at the same time. It was sooooo adorable! Whatever hand movements the dancers were doing, Erik would want to mimick them, including a little "Superman" move where both of his hands are held behind his back and he's leaning forward with his chest. Sure, it may be a balancing move while standing but at the same time, those dancers were doing the same thing!
Daddy and Mummy aren't really keen on Bhutanese music, seriously, its not our taste but for Erik, its' the best thing...kinda like MTV but without all the "drama". LOL!

U better get used to lots of falling.... It's amazing how sturdy babies are. They can take so much more than we think but it never hurts to be careful. Our son was always real careful but i have a feeling our little daughter will be areal dare devil, like her mother.
