My son loves dancing - and is actually quite good, but I could never quite bring myself to do sign him up, because I remembered the lone little guy in my daughter's class, way back in the day, and how we all pitied him. Guess it's hard to break the mold if even your own mom is biased! Thanks for the reminder - I'm going to look for the book!MadMadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11550335108031470562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31542820.post-41305036715192129462007-11-13T20:14:00.000-05:002007-11-13T20:14:00.000-05:00Giggling at S'Mom's comment. =)I have a dance-lov...Giggling at S'Mom's comment. =)<BR/><BR/>I have a dance-loving Boy myself, but I could never get over the stereotypes that "Boys Don't Dance".
