Bailamos!

Sasha is a dancer. It is through no choice of her own. She is improving a little at a time thanks to Latino's rigorous training sessions. He is a good leader, but she requires a little more assistance than most of his dancing partners who are already capable of standing in an upright position on their own. He is a patient teacher and he will hold her and guide her legs into the correct basic step of merengue, all the while singing a catchy merengue tune. The song of choice is usually "La Vaca," which means the cow. The song involves mooing. It is one of the funniest sights I have ever seen: Latino making Sasha dance while singing about a cow and mooing. And Sasha has the sweetest temperament and she does not complain. She just dances away while looking at me as if to say, "Are you kidding me? What is wrong with this guy?"

There was also the time when the two of them came into the room dancing and there was a bookshelf blocking my view of Latino. All I saw was Sasha dancing away on her back feet to the words, "Bailando, bailando" (I am dancing). There is never a dull moment in the household. I would not have it any other way.
