My little Kenny has always been a mover and a shaker. He LOVES music. Because of having loose ligaments and low muscle tone, it took him some time to be able to stand to dance. (It was once described to me as walking on a wobbly bridge, you can do it but your footing is not stable) You could see how frustrated he would get trying to dance to the music. He felt it, it made him want to move... so he got to a point where he would just scootch around. It made you both happy and also a little sad that he didn't have the strength to stand. He wiggled his booty, he scootched in circles, he kicked his feet. But he always felt the joy of music. Today, now at three Kenny can stand, he can walk, he can "run"... we are still working on goals like jumping and standing on one foot but Kenneth still feels the music, he still loves to dance, it still brings him so much joy...as it does us.
