Dance Fever

Some moments stand out, the moments you will never forget, the moments in which life changes. Tonight we had one of those moments.

Grant danced.

Grant doesn't like music. He doesn't mind music in the car, but he generally has no interest (and is usually quite averse) in being personally involved with music. Not only does he not want to play music and not want you to sing to him, he also certainly does not dance!

We had family over for our nephew's birthday, just hanging out watching the Steelers game. I wish so much we would have had a camera, especially the video camera, but it was so shocking and so funny none of us could move. Out of the blue, Grant stood in the middle of the room and started dancing, trying to move his arms and legs to some inner tune. The motion was somewhere between a marionette and Elaine's dance on Seinfeld.

As if the dancing wasn't shock enough, he was fully aware that we were all watching him, and he seemed to like it! He was looking at each of us while he was dancing, a big smile on his face showing us that he was enjoying this as much as we were.

Tonight, Grant danced.
What's next - talking? friendships? Peace in the middle east?
