Engagement Party

After the Festival, I snuggled Levi in for a nap.  He and I both had a sleep.  I slept for about an hour.  Levi I had to wake After about 2 hours and he was all sleepy.  He said that he remembered that he had to go swimming.  I had to let him know that he had not in fact slept through until Sunday, but that it was still Saturday night.  This is Levi all dressed up for the party.
On the way there, I decided to take Levi to McDonald's.  I knew that there wouldn't be enough food, quick enough at the party.  I also knew that he likely wouldn't even like the type of food that they have at a party like that.  I told him that we couldn't go through the drive through because he was all dressed up and he would get it all over his shirt, so we went inside.

Part way through this Lady Gaga song came on.  Levi gets off his chair and reaches out his hands to me and asks:

"Mum, Could I have this dance?"

So at 6.30 at night in a McDonald's, he and I danced together as if no one was watching.  I will remember it as a beautiful moment.  A moment when just he and existed and I was still the most important person in his life.  At the end he said;

"Best dance of my life!"

What a charmer!  I will remember that night forever.  Not for the rest of the party but for 4 minutes which I will never forget
