September Morn

Yesterday was the last day of September.
I had a load of dishes in the sink and my two oldest kids where in school.
I had one child at home. My two year old son.
As I started the dishes I put on some music to keep me and my son happy.
Yes, I am just going to say it--- Neil Diamond songs. Hey, don't knock it!
It is music I grew up with and it makes me feel at home somehow.
Anyway, I was listening to the music and happily (I am telling you it was the music)
doing dishes. I was moving my hips to "Coming to America" while my son was waving a towel around to the beat.

The next song was a slow ballad, I stopped doing my dishes and picked up my son and started dancing with him. He laid his head right into my shoulder as we rocked.
I was filled with love for my "Handsome Little Man".

Yes, the two year old boy who runs me ragged day after day climbing, running, jumping and destroying every thing insight. Yes, the same little boy who had before the music started was screaming and yelling and throwing food on the ground. Yes, this same little man who knows all the right buttons to push to get a rise out of one of his older sisters and makes her so mad.
Yes, this same little two year old who only really is calm when he is sleeping in his bed, and the light of the moon just makes him "look" like a real angel.

I have two older children, so I have learned to take those moments as they come. Though I don't always do so.
To hold this little person in my arms and have him feel completely 100% comfort and safety in my, busy, sometimes inadequate hands, what a feeling, no words can describe!

We danced until the song was over and I kissed him on the cheek and he wiggled out of my arms off onto his next adventure. Which happened to be dumping an unemptied cup of milk from breakfast, all over the dinning room floor. Thanks son!
I had to laugh, good thing I had just had "A MOMENT" with him. That may have saved his life that day, or mine. I was still upset, but not so much.

I am grateful to have had the time yesterday to dance on the that"September Morn", with a man who really means the world to me, and just think I get to be his mom!
