Saturday,
April 21, 2001:
Matthew was a party animal at the reception.
|
|
Yes,
this was the beginning of the evening. After being very well behaved
at the ceremony, Matthew zonked out on the way to the reception and
slept all the way through dinner, waking just as the cake was being
served.
|
|
After
about an hour of playing hard to get (which in toddler terms means yelling
and running away), Matthew finally decided Madeline was a pretty cool
chick after all!
|
|
He's
up and on the move! Matthew danced every dance from that moment
on. Ok, he did miss one when we insisted on a break for a diaper
change.
|
|
Matthew
and Madeline invent a new dance.
|
|
Awwwwww!
|
|
...We
all GET DOWN!"
|
|
And
then there was Cordelia, one of the bridesmaids, who seemed to be even
more of a dance maniac than Matthew!
|
|
The
rock 'n roll version of Ring Around the Rosey -- "Ashes, ashes,
...
|
|
You
spin me right 'round, baby, right 'round.
|
|
Party
animals go RARRRRRR!
|
|
No
matter how many times Daddy put this little red light in Matthew's hand,
and no matter how tightly he held onto it, ...
|
|
...it
had always disappeared by the time he got over to show it to Cordelia!
|
|
The
grand finale... it was a really great "SHOW"!
|
|
Don't
get carried away -- just because I dance with you doesn't mean I'll
let you pick me up!
