a brave girl

most saturday mornings for several months now, we have been going to see a local musician who plays music for kids in our neighborhood. dottie absolutely loves enzo and even begs to listen to him at home now. she says, "enz, enz, enz..." over and over again while pointing at the computer until we put him on. at the start and the end of the show, enzo plays a little welcome and goodbye song where at one point in the song, the kids go up and shake his hand. dottie has been very reluctant to go up to shake his hand but usually comes home and wants to practice by shaking our hands. all of the practice has been worth it because last week, chuck asked her if she wanted to do it, she said no, he was talking to someone, and all of the sudden she was up shaking his hands beaming with pride on the way back to him. this week she gave us a repeat performance. way to go dottie! (don't ask about the girl in the undies! she got up and stripped down and just went with it.)
