Dad is sitting on the carpet with his darling six-month-old daughter, Lily, in a quaint living room with toys strewn around and baby equipment all over the place. Tom’s character, Dad, is adamant about hearing his young daughter say “Dada” for the first time. He’s been told by friends that their babies said “Dada” at a young age, and he’s now determined to have Lily reach the same milestone.
Tom begins by settling down in front of Lily, who is joyfully tinkering with her multicolored stacking rings while sitting cross-legged. With his sparkling eyes fixed on hers, he urges, “Come on, Lily, say ‘Dada’ for Daddy!” Lily responds with a giggle, obviously enjoying her dad’s attention.
Lily laughs, but Tom doesn’t let that stop him. He tries various strategies, such as calling Lily “Dada” repeatedly in the hopes that she will imitate him. He cries out, “Dada, dada, dada,” and makes funny faces to get Lily to pay attention.
Tom then presents a visual book with animal sounds in it. With a gesture of his hand, he asks Lily, “What does the duck say? “Quack, quack!” Excitementally, Lily claps her hands, but says nothing.
Tom then displays Lily’s beloved plush animal, a cuddly rabbit, to her and waves it. “Lily, look! It’s Bunny!” Could you say “Dada” to Bunny please? Lily doesn’t say anything, even when she reaches for the rabbit.
Tom tries everything throughout the day, including singing nursery rhymes and making goofy noises, but Lily only reacts with sweet coos and babbles. He tries, but “Dada” is still evasive.
Tom perseveres despite being frustrated. He is aware that Lily will eventually begin to speak. He shows Lily so much love and care throughout the day, savoring every second of their quality time together.
When it gets dark and Tom is getting Lily ready for bed, he puts a soft kiss on her forehead and murmurs, “Goodnight, Lily.” Perhaps you’ll say “Dada” tomorrow. Tom smiles, knowing that Lily’s response is a beautiful gurgle and that their special bond is unbreakable.
A touching scene of a father and his priceless daughter, excitedly anticipating their next adventure together, is shown to the viewers as the screen fades to dark.
DWTS Viewers Furious About This Contestant’s Sparkly Ankle Bracelet – See the Drama Unfold
Fans of *Dancing with the Stars* are upset after one of the dancers performed a mediocre cha cha while wearing a sparkly bracelet on her right ankle. What seemed like a simple accessory actually had a deeper meaning.
Despite the backlash, the dancer stood her ground, telling the quiet audience, “I’ve reinvented myself many times” and “this time I’m going to be a ballroom dancer.”
Keep reading to find out who this controversial performer is on the popular TV show!
Ezra Sosa faced a big challenge in season 33 of *Dancing with the Stars*, his first season as a professional dancer.
His partner claimed to have dance experience, but Ezra had his doubts. When asked about her background, he said, “She did ballet and modern,” then laughed and added, “I don’t think she did…”
Like many others, Sosa doesn’t fully trust what his partner says.
His partner, known as a “fake heiress,” was convicted of grand larceny after pretending to be a wealthy German heiress. She scammed many socialites and even some banks and hotels while living in New York.
Sosa’s partner is Anna Sorokin, who is also known as Anna Delvey. She was born in Russia and became famous after her crimes inspired the Netflix show *Inventing Anna*.
Delvey gained attention for defrauding people, banks, and hotels. The Netflix series features her story, with actress Julia Garner playing her role.
She was convicted of grand larceny multiple times in 2019 and was released from prison in 2021 for good behavior. However, after breaking the rules of her Visa, she was taken into custody by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and placed under home confinement.
Now considered a flight risk, she wears an ankle monitor while she fights to stay in the U.S. and avoid being deported back to Germany, where she is a citizen.
On September 17, Anna caused a lot of controversy with her appearance on the first episode of the new season of *Dancing with the Stars*.
After Delvey was introduced as a “fashionista and entrepreneur,” she and Sosa took to the dance floor to perform a cha-cha to Sabrina Carpenter’s song “Espresso.”
They wore colorful outfits in shades of blue, purple, pink, and yellow. Delvey added a sparkly ankle monitor to her look.
During their performance, Delvey explained her unusual accessory, saying, “I overstayed my visa because I was in jail, so it’s kind of hard to leave.” She laughed and added, “I did serve my time… I’ve reinvented myself many times, and this time I’m going to be a ballroom dancer.”
The judges praised Anna Delvey’s efforts and expressed their surprise at her performance.
Derek Hough said, “I’m kind of lost for words. You actually have the ability to be a really beautiful dancer. Truly, you really do… I was surprised.”
Bruno Tonioli added a more playful touch, saying, “Reinventing Anna … yet again! And it could be working!”
Carrie Ann Inaba addressed the unusual silence in the studio, saying, “When you came out on the dance floor, there was a shift in the energy in this room. I imagine this is scary for you, and I’m not for or against anything you’ve done. But this is about your dancing here.”
However, fans were less kind. Many criticized her “robotic” moves and “miserable face,” while others were upset about the ankle monitor.
“Ankle monitors are not iconic. She should not be on this show,” wrote one user on DWTS’s Instagram page. Another added, “Felons should not be given any sort of spotlight.”
One commenter took issue with her title, saying, “Ooof. ‘Fashionista and entrepreneur?’ No… criminal.” On the DWTS Facebook page, another fan expressed, “Let’s glamorize an ankle bracelet. I’m disgusted.”
