Michael's got his groove on!

She'll probably kill me for this picture, but I caught her "teaching"!
My friend Amy used to dance at BYU with her husband... I think that's how they met. They have taught dances to the youth in our area and stuff. Anyway, her daughter, Riley, is Michael's age and wanted her mom to teach her and some friends a dance. So here's Michael and Riley (and Sadie/Kyler, Sarah/Carson, & Alison/Boston) practicing their swing dance...

They actually started a couple weeks ago and "Hayden" was Riley's dance partner... and apparently her boyfriend too. But they broke up... so Michael got to step in. And he has learned this much of this dance in 2 days!! He is SO AWESOME! The situation between Riley and Hayden also opened up a conversation about how being someones boyfriend before you are 16 only ruins your friendship. So I told him that if a girl asks him to be her boyfriend he is to say, "no, because I like you and always want to be your friend and if we broke up we wouldn't be friends." You think that'll work? IT'S WORTH A TRY! Our neighbor boy, Britan has his first girlfriend and he's going to be a senior, so I told Michael when he's Britan's age he can consider having a girlfriend, he said, "O.K." and I'll try and hold him to it! In the meantime he is really enjoying learning to dance.

How fun is that? He is really good. I didn't even recognize Amy with her hair so different.
