Finally, things have settled down enough that I’ve started to go through the video I shot during my three-week trip to the United States.  Many things to share – but of course it takes time to edit all them!  One thing that I was able to pull together fairly quickly was this video.

After dinner at my nieces’ house (ages 3 and 6) and before dinner, there is time to read books… assuming nobody has lost their book privileges because of misbehavior!  One night, my sister and brother-in-law took an evening out so I was looking after the girls.  “Instead of books, can we perform a show?” asked Emily, the older niece.

Well, the “show” was them dancing and singing (kind of) to music from the movie Mamma Mia, the new “it” album of the moment in their house.  Their parents’ bedroom has a sitting area that is set off from the main bedroom in a way that makes the wide arch between the two look a little like a proscenium.

Sadly, they didn’t know all the words so it was mostly a matter of dancing and bouncing around.  But I though you might enjoy the first minute or so of it…

Lots more to share in the coming days and weeks, including exclusive footage from the Kitchen of Zakiah!
