Jack and I were in the middle of giggling over a serious pretend snore when Jason came in with one of Jack's wind up toys. Jason fiddled with it for a bit before he carefully selected a record, put it on the turntable, and wound up the toy so it could play its music. "Jack and Jill Go Up the Hill" tinkled out from its tiny speakers.
Jason turned to me, and asked me if I cared to dance. He grabbed my hands, we stood, and we began to move to the song.
After a few moments he cocked his head and gave me his brightest grin. "Bet you didn't know I could do that," he said with a laugh.
I smiled back at him as I struggled to keep the tears from rolling down my face. Back and forth we slowly stepped, swaying to the music. My entire body flooded with emotion while my boy and I had our first real dance together. I was so disappointed when the music ended, and the moment was over.
The best moments often occur when you least expect them to. That just makes them all the more special.
For me, this moment was magic, and I know I will hold it in my heart forever.
