lord of the dance

"have you seen that little blond boy dancing over there?" i overheard a woman ask her husband as i passed by them last night at our club's new year's eve party.  "i cannot take my eyes off him.  he's cracking me up!"

i knew without looking that they had to be talking about liam.  i'd been getting similar comments all night, as friends and acquaintances stood around the dance floor in awe of our firstborn.  as soon as the deejay cranked up the music, he hightailed it to center stage and did not stop moving for two hours.  in chris's footage below, you can tell the moment that liam realizes he's being taped -- and his moves don't change a bit.  he just beamed, loving every minute of doing his self-described "freestyle".

and what a perfect way to open up 2012 ... with a smile.  may this be the year that, as the saying goes, we all dance like nobody's watching.  (or, in liam's case, dance however you want, regardless of people are watching or not.)

happy new year!
