Amélie seemed to be falling down quite a bit these days... So much so that I was really starting to wonder what was happening... Was she too distracted by things around her to pay attention to her walking? Was she drinking from a hidden reservoir of Vodka? Did she have some neuro-locomotor problems? I kept wondering what was going on...
This Sunday, I got my answer... We had a playdate with Rena, one of her classmates. While there, Rena's mom offered to sing 'ring around the rosy'... We all got in a circle, and Rena's mom started singing (I still have to get the lyrics right) and at the 4th line, it says 'all fall down', and Amélie joyfully followed Rena's lead to fall down on the carpet...
Now I know that, all this time, Amélie has just been perfecting her 'ring around the rosy' dance... I also know that I seriously need to learn more about these US kids' songs!

Wow--we totally need to see you guys. Esme would be MORE than happy to give you a crash course in "Songs of the Daycare." She teaches me a new one every day. Beware though--once the toddler knows that you know how to Ring Around the Rosy, you're going to spend a lot of time falling down.
Also glad to see Amelie doesn't, in the end, have vestibular problems!
