My very first Blog Post was written in 2006 about my oldest daughter. She is now five years old....still very much into music and dancing.
My Daughter has a love of music. She sways, bounces and flings her arms in the air to anything musical. She does not discriminate. She loves Sesame Street, the Oscar Mayer commercials, and Mommy's booty rap. All music inspires my girl to bounce her tush or sway her arms around. It is so adorable and free. I say to her, "That's right Jordan, Dance! Dance!" She looks at me with her beautiful round eyes, that are the spitting image of her Daddy's, smiles excitedly and continues her bouncing....(dancing).
Sometimes we dance together. I scoop her up into my arms and we rock back and forth, cheek to cheek to whatever moves us on the radio. It warms my heart and has made otherwise average days, beautiful and more spectacular.
Today, she and I danced together standing in front of one another. This is new for us, because she just started walking and now has the ability to dance while standing. Prior to this week, her dancing consisted of being held by me while she moved her arms up and down or bouncing from a sitting position, swaying her arms back and forth, up and down. Now, well, she is a pro! She stands, bounces on her legs AND sways her arms all at the same time. My growing girl is growing to fast. I only hope she will continue to dance with me as she gets older.
...this was my kickoff post into the blogging world. Unfortunately...I only wrote a couple more times that year (In My Daughter's Eyes and Wild Horses) and then took a very LONG hiatus....I love looking back like this. It inspires me to continue documenting my journey as a mother and otherwise.....
Reasons I like this post.....
***It focused on one of my favorite things about my daughter at that age
***I wrote in a way that you can picture whats happening
Something I would change....
***Add a picture of my Luv Bug at that age! :-)
***I would also space out the post a little more for affect and maybe change the fonts to make it easier to read.

I LOVe this description of your daughter dancing. It is beautiful.
I agree... some spacing and a great picture would help. But it is still beautiful on its own.
Darling little girl!

love your descriptions! the pic does add a lot - it's one of the things I know I need to work on for my blog is to remember to take and use more pics... Happy B2B week, stopping by from SITS
What a great first post and your daughter is such a cutie. :)
What a great first post! We could learn a lot from the way our children love to dance, any time, anywhere ... I wish we didn't grow out of that :-)

This is a great post!
My little one & I do that every morning (he's 15 mo) because he is now obsessed with dancing around!
Stopping by from Twitter! And I'm a new follower!

Stopping by from SITS. Love your post. It was very descriptive and I truly could 'see' what you were describing. I used to love holding my daughters and dancing with them when they were little.
I love this post. The picture is so cute! Stopping from SITS!
What a lovely post! I am so glad that you added that picture of your beautiful daughter; I could imagine her dancing at that adorable age. Visiting from SITS. I took the same kind of "break" that you did when I started blogging.
Best from Long Island, NY,

I can just sense the joy your little girl has, doing all the dancing and bouncing. A real bundle of energy! Wouldn't it be nice if we could keep that as we age?
I participated in this too. Here's the link to mine: http://zemeks.blogspot.com/2010/09/first-blog-post-i-ever-wrote.html
Isn't that amazing? I hope my son is as carefree and unself-conscious about dancing as he can be. I stress and worry about dancing in front of other people!
Stopping by from SITS. Happy Tuesday!
