Even Two Year Old Life Imitates Art

It happened all at once: Rose has been inspired.


On a day like any other, she was lying on her bed reading a book.  This particular book happened to be based on the work of Edgar Degas.  She gazed upon the image, as she has a thousand times before; but in that moment, it spoke to her.


And she came to me and requested:


a "hoo-hoo."



{A what???}







Ohhhhh, ok.  She suddenly required a tutu.





Although she has never actually witnessed a ballet dancer in action, she seems to have discerned the proper style of dance from analyzing the Degas pieces.  Any time she hears music, she appears in her "hoo-hoo," {of all the inappropriate sounding names she could have concocted} and performs the most saccharine, delicate {yet drunken looking} ballet you've ever seen.





With her own unique Rose twist, of course.






And so it is.  She imitates art.

Isn't it cute what they pick up? I have to take a song that mentions Tequila out of my car rotation because my 4 year old picked up on it yesterday. That'll be nice at pre-school. Umm hmmm. :)

How cute! I volunteer at my church's parent and toddler group and today one of the little ones saw his friend come in, and did a little dance to celebrate! 'Course, he also had to do a little dance to celebrate a sunbeam coming in through the window! Not even me nearly having a cookie stolen right from my mouth by an 18mo could spoil my morning :)
