Tiny Dancer

I thought one item from our recent vacation deserved a special call out. One evening while we were out to dinner, we were seated near a singer at the restaurant. The guy was great - he took requests from the crowd and could play pretty much anything. Anna was transfixed on the music from the moment we sat down. After about five minutes of sitting (somewhat) patiently, she asked if she could dance. We said sure (funny enough the song she initially started dancing to was "Tiny Dancer"). And, dance she did - for about 45 minutes much to our and the other restaurant patrons' delight. She only stopped for a quick bite or drink here and there, but never sat down for the rest of the time we were there. It was great to see her dance with such joy and complete abandonment - a good reminder of how we should stop and enjoy the small things in life.
