pretty dancing

Ada has recently become OBSESSED with princesses and fancy dresses and anything that has to do with one or the other is gold.

Well the other night Dancing with the Stars was on TV and Ada fell in love. There are pretty dresses and in her mind princesses wearing the dresses, dancing, music, and applause and laughing following the dances.

She loves this show so much that it has surpassed the movie Ratatouille in her favorite things to watch. Now when she walks into our room instead of repeating 'watch mouse' over and over and over again, she now asks for 'pretty dancing' or 'watch pretty dresses' and then followed by 'Ada's pretty dress', or 'Ada princess', or 'pretty dress, pretty dress, PRETTY DRESS'.

I know Elliot and I are probably going to hell for allowing Ada to watch TV at such an early age, but we just look at it as broadening her horizons. So when Ada decides at age 6 that she wants to become a ballroom dancer, we will not think it random, we'll just know that the vision of Warren Saap doing the Hustle really did have a lasting impression.
