Go, kid, go!
See, this is what happens if you have children and turn the t.v. facing the window - they will play and dance. Imagine that!

I think the carpet looks truly awful.

I cringed the entire time. That kid is going to break his neck or dislocate something important. 2 yr old bodies have different proportions than their breakdancing daddys.

heh, I was wondering if it was safe for him to do that. Right now all the cartilage he has will absorb most of the shocks. It could lead to some acquired deformity of joints, and perhaps of the long bones too. In a couple of years, if not sooner, his body weight may contribute to additional injuries. We think they are indestructable, but kids have to be protected from doing some stuff.

Really cute video, though.

The carpet is, um, ugly, but it matches the divan so well.

I didn't see the child doing anything unnatural for his age - yes the combined actions make it a form of breakdancing, but I doubt there is any single part of it that the average toddler doesn't do in the course of a day.

I think it is great, the Dad must have great moves and, if he sticks with it, he will be great.

The kid looks like he is having a good time and could grow up to be a great dancer. We probably wouldn't have so much footage of him happily tumbling around if it were hurting him. I do think it is a little odd that we learn his age at the end. ???
