We actually finished up Disney at the Epcot center for the last two days. I always thought it was a boring name, but the world showcase was pretty neat. Visiting all the different countries was a lot of fun, esp. since I like to travel. Sure there were parts that were a bit fake ( mainly in the matls. they constructed the buildings from...the curse of my architectual background that I would notice.)

Emma was having fun chasing ducks but she really came into her own when we went to Morocco. When she saw the belly dancers she was mesmerized. It wasn't long before she had a belly dancing skirt on and was out there cuttin a rug with the rest of them.

The girls who were in the bazaar area where the music and dancing was going on were very impressed with her. One asked me where she took lessons. When I told her she had never had a lesson in her life, she was shocked. The one who put her henna tattoo on said she had 'it' (the spirit of dance?) in her.

And she was hamming it up too. At one point she ended up on her knees and leaned back all the way to the floor while dancing. This became her signature move. Or was it the belly wave that became her signature move ? Either way, the women there were blown away and my daughter, having become intoxicated with the attention and interest they paid her spent the rest of the night dancing and trying to get everyone's attention, which she did. All the way to the car....

Overall, I had some really special times with her and we connected even more deeply than we had before. We had a lot of fun, and I know this will have been a very memorable time for her.

Oh yeah, her grandmother bought her that skirt and I got her some belly dancing music. If you can't fight em.....
