--Coming into the kitchen the other day I found my wife dancing with waffles to the chime of the Christmas clock. It was a sight. I don’t know who enjoyed it more waffles or my wife.
--It reminded me of all the dancing we've done over the years. And there have been a few. With crying children suffering through teething, with each other for no reason other than it was fun.
--Of course now that the children are older it's kind of hard to get them to dance. In fact when it was tried just recently you'd of thought it was a invasion of their personal space. That needed to be fought off at all cost.
--But after a patient explanation that it was nobodies purpose to invade anybody’s personal space. It was agreed it might be fun and we were all able to enjoy a few minutes of closeness once again as a family.
--Hug's were a staple at one time. Freely given and quite often. Now it seems the more space maintained the better everyone feels. That also had to be straighten out just recently. Much to the dismay of our children.
--Now of course, were on a back swing of sorts. Hug's and dancing have once again become a staple. And I’ve noticed a resurgence of untapped closeness that hasn't been present in some time.
--The children of course probably have their own option about the whole thing. And have chosen not to share because sometimes it's just easier to humor a long winded old fool than force him to drag out his old soapbox....
