U Can't Touch This

This past Friday Ethan performed at his school's variety show.  He asked me many weeks ago if he could dance in it.  Knowing he has never taken a dance class, I was not sure but he assured me that he could do it.  So he borrowed his sister's hip hop competition dance which happens to be Mc Hammer's "U Can't Touch This".  I had it burned onto another cd and we practiced.  He borrowed some moves from Emma's dance and made up his own.  A week prior to the show, he had to preview it in front of the school's variety show committee.  It was too long so Erik and  I figured out how to shorten it to 1 min and 30 secs.  He practiced and practiced!

Friday evening arrived and he was ready!  Ethan was hoping his 2 best friends would come but both are a little shy and would no way perform nor I think they are into the show.  Ethan however has watched his sister dance since he was 2 years old so he is comfortable with dancing.  I just was not sure about dancing by himself in front of an audience.  He performed in the first act and was #3!  He did extremely well and the crowd loved him!  He asked me if he could do it again next year!  I have been asked by several of Emma's dance teachers and parents if he was going to take boys hip hop.  Ethan has never shown an interest so I never gave it a second thought...until now!  It will have to coincide with soccer since he will not give that up!

Then to top it off, he lost his other front tooth so he has no front teeth!  So cute!
