Even when babies have only a few words, they can move their bodies to show “I’m happy” and “This is fun”
💬 I Heard My Favorite Song
In the room, the baby’s favorite song began to play. Tra-la-la, tra-la-la. The baby quickly lifted up their face. It looks like they thought, “Oh, I love this song!”
🤔 What kind of face is the baby making? Do they look happy?
💬 A Wiggly Body
The baby still can’t dance well like a big kid. But their body wiggles to the right and to the left. Their little hands go flap, flap. The baby’s baby dance has begun.
🤔 Do you want to copy the baby and wiggle your body a little?
💬 You Can See the Happy Feeling
It is still a little hard for the baby to say lots of things with words. But the baby sways their body and smiles. That is the baby’s sign for “I’m having fun!” Mom and Dad understand that feeling, so they smile too.
🤔 How is the baby telling us “I’m having fun”? With their face? With their body?
💬 Everyone Smiles Together
When Mom and Dad see the baby’s wiggly dance, they smile. Their hearts feel warm, like they are saying, “So cute,” and “So fun.” A baby dance is a dance where the baby’s happy feelings come out through their body. When the baby hears a favorite song, their heart and body both feel bouncy and bright.
🤔 Everyone smiled. What kind of song makes you want to dance?
