march-dance

cybele is starting to do slapstick. i am amazed when i see her doing this thing i can remember doing myself (though now i cant imagine why i did) when i was little. she crawls around on the ground with her head on the ground like the front of a bulldozer. she seems to find this is deeply gratifying. she also has a march-dance she does. she perambulates the house lifting her right leg high with every step and stomping it down. sometimes she accompanies this by lifting her arms up and out and mimicking snapping. but i think she's gotten lazy with her vocabulary development, because she has such good non-verbal communication skills that with a small handful of syllable combinations she can express and get what she wants. she is very dance-y these days.
