Charles likes to dance. He has been groving to the Teletubbies for a while. Recently Dad ended up watching an episode that involved dancing and Charles made poor tired Dad get up and dance with him. As with Corwin when he was young, Charles has two dance techniques - random spastic motions or spinning. Dad was hoping for random spastics (as he has few serious competitors in that realm) but Charles opted for spinning. We held hands and spun around as fast as Charles could move, which was surprisingly fast. Dad tried keeping his eyes closed to hold on a little longer but the vertigo leaked in anyway. I managed to find the couch by touch because I couldn’t maintain constant eye contact with it. Charles was only mildly affected.
But Charles has since discovered a variant of the spinning dance, the maypole dance. Dad likes this one because his primary responsiblity is to stand still and pat Charles on the head as he goes by in his rapid orbits around Dad until Charles starts veering off into the furniture at which point Dad gently re-orients him with a horizontal surface.
