Dancing with Mom

Beckett seems to really like music. He moves his feet and moves his arms in rhythm. (I like to think it's a genetic gift from his Grandpa Cox.) Since he enjoys it so much, I like to put different kinds of music on the tv. Today was jazz and he seemed to really like it, so when he got a little fussy, we started dancing around. Here's a link to a short clip of one of our dances.

The coolest thing was right after this song finished, Peggy Lee's "There is No Greater Love" started. The lyrics are beautiful and so fitting. As we waltzed, she sang,

"There is no greater love,
Than what I feel for you,
No greater love,
No heart so true.
There is no greater thrill
Than what you bring to me
No sweeter song
Than what you sing to me.
You're the sweetest thing
I have ever known
And to think that you are mine alone.
There is no greater love
In all the world, it's true.
No greater love
Than what I feel for you."


We danced to her beautiful voice and I smiled at the truth of the lyrics. Beckett was cooing and patting my back in time, so I'm pretty sure he feels the same way about his dad and me... : )


I am so thankful for this time with him!
