Making Music {#SOL16 Day 17}

It was a typical morning...

we were late... as usual!

I was running from one side

of the house to the other,

frantically putting things where they belonged.

Packing up the little one and a quick snack

for me, just in case I actually had time to eat lunch today.  

I took just two quick seconds,

to run and get my shoes from the back 

of my closet. 

I swear, it was the hundredth trip that morning.

Then I heard music. 

I came to swoop up the little guy 

and head out the door, 

when I see the 'band' playing 

in the living room. 

"Mamma, Play"

As he hands me a horn from his music set. 

He's playing his new maracas that Uncle

just brought back from Mexico. 

Jeremy's playing a tambourine.

And they are both smiling and dancing.

He says "1...2..."

and begins to play again. 

We follow.

We start a morning jam session,

laughing,

smiling,

dancing,

together. 

For a split second all of the other things

that need to be done were out of my mind.

Who cares we were late. 

We were making memories!
