What a perfect moment...

This morning Katie and William were instructed to stay within the confines of the Master Bath/Bedroom area in order that I may bathe for the first time this week. They do a great job given a little freedom even if its only 150 square feet of freedom.

Upon drying off, squeegeeing the shower door and popping Benjamin's binkie back in his mouth I was curiously drawn to the increasingly deafening music coming from beyond my bathroom door... as I opened it and peeked into the room Katie was wearing an elegant gown of Mom's lace-trimmed shirts and William was wearing his Spiderman pajamas... they were awkwardly dancing - mixing dance moves like "the twist" with a side gallop, none-the-less, a little head banging and gyrations of the hips and booty... they are TOTALLY enveloped in the blaring music and the song was "Higher Love" by Steve Winwood (see lyrics below). It was blaring and I started crying and laughing at the same time because the moment was so... AWESOME. I simply stood in my doorway because I couldn't pull myself from the scene! It was so good. William continued to run over to the radio and turn the volume up a little more... he did this about 4 times during the song because I'm sure the pureness of the '80s was capturing his every sense. He couldn't get enough! He danced like a madman around the room - arms up and down, gallops and some sort of break dancing... the song just "oozed" with energy and in that William figured which "moves" were most appropriate for the moment... as did little Miss Cindy Lauper... off-the-shoulder layered bright shirts.

Remember the joy of the '80s... coincidently, the lyrics are perfect for such a moment:

HIGHER LOVE
Steve Winwood

Think about it, there must be higher love
Down in the heart or hidden in the stars above
Without it, life is a wasted time
Look inside your heart, Ill look inside mine
Things look so bad everywhere
In this whole world, what is fair?
We walk blind and we try to see
Falling behind in what could be

Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Wheres that higher love I keep thinking of?

Worlds are turning and were just hanging on
Facing our fear and standing out there alone
A yearning, and its real to me
There must be someone whos feeling for me
Things look so bad everywhere
In this whole world, what is fair?
We walk blind and we try to see
Falling behind in what could be

Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Wheres that higher love I keep thinking of?

Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Bring be a higher love
I could rise above on a higher love

I will wait for it
Im not too late for it
Until then, Ill sing my song
To cheer the night along
Bring it...oh bring it...

I could light the night up with my soul on fire
I could make the sun shine from pure desire
Let me feel that love come over me
Let me feel how strong it could be

Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Wheres that higher love I keep thinking of?
