She makes people smile
Today we walked in the rain to dance class. Hannah lagged behind most of the time because she couldn't resist puddle jumping and playing with her umbrella. At one point, she stopped in the middle of a group of commuters that were waiting at a bus stop, and she yelled ahead to me, "Hey, Mom!"
I turned around, and she put down her umbrella and spun it while she danced around it several times. She called everyone to attention, and suddenly people started to smile. It was very pleasing to see the transformation on their faces.
Hannah finished her show, and ran to catch up with me. She was so happy and so proud of her performance. I asked her about it, and she said she was like Singing in the Rain, which is her new favorite movie. She continued to use her umbrella and boots as props throughout our journey. We were at least a half hour late to class, but it was worth it to see Hannah have so much fun.
