Bellydancing baby

Ben likes his mom's bellydancing scarves. They make good jingly noises, and you can play peekaboo with them. He practiced dancing with her best one in order to get ready for going to see her dance (and lots of other people dancing) at her class performance/bellydance party in a restaurant near his house. He loved being in a place where people were both jingly and showing their bellybuttons (he's been a little obsessed with belly buttons). However, he was tired, and it eventually became overwhelming, so he had to go home. That meant he missed Melina spinning a sword, balanced on a dagger that she held in her mouth, an act that truly amazed Sibel, who came along for the evening's entertainment.
