And we danced

The scene: Pitt Street Mall, Sunday morning, restless shoppers swarm between the buildings, scaffolding looms overhead, a man in a tuxedo plays the electric violin, an ever-increasing crowd hums along as 'Memories' (think Barbra Streisand) weaves through the air.

Mr4 takes my hand. He twirls under it, Ginger Rogers style. He turns back to face me, holds out his other hand. I take it. He begins to twirl.

"Dance with me Mummy," he says.

I laugh. Round and round we go, with a couple of pirouettes and an occasional heel-toe polka thrown in. The crowd makes room for us.

We dance.

  2. Children make the best dancers in public, it is always great to see adults get involved in the fun too.

  3. Love Mr 4's fearless spontaniety. It reminds me that my Mr 23 used to be a Mr 4 too..and used to dance fearlessly in the aisle at church on a Sunday!

  4. That sounds awesome Allison! I love the unbridled enthusiasm of Mr4. I am sure you could have walked away with a hat full of coins after such a performance. Beautiful memories :o)

  9. Very cute ;)
    My sons are starting to dance pretty good - but then this morning, I told him to 'shake yer bum' and he stood stiff and vibrated his backside. It was priceless.

  12. Bless! What a perfect picture you've painted of such a poignant moment with Mr.4. Isnt it awesome to have a blog solely to be able to record these special moments, lest they be lost to time?
