Dancing

Marcus was so cute this morning. Adelynn was listening to some music, and he came up and started to do a strange sort of bouncy dance, and kept beat to the music with his hands. He didn't seem to get why we were all laughing with him, but just kept doing it more and more. Here is a short video of him:

Last night we watched The Water Horse. It was a very good movie. When we finished, it was lighting off in the distance. As always, I came up with a little verse about it.
There's something about this evening/ As I'm sitting in my robe/ Looking out through a silent room/ Out through the crystal- clear glass./ Far-off, in the distance/ Beyond the silhouettes of dark trees/ Lighting is falling and raining down/ A hundred-million waterfalls of light./ Each splash lights up the moonless sky/ And douses the clouds in pink light./ Like a candle the light flickers and wavers/ Shying away from the Earth/ It retreats into the darkened sky,/ Runs back to it's secretive home./ Behind it it leaves/ A shuddering memory/ Quick to fade as another light splashes./ Behind it it leaves/ A bittersweet touch/ And the thunder.
It was not really a "silent room" because Adelynn was screaming at me, with that relentless persistence of four year olds, to play tea-party with her. And I do not know if it really was a "moonless night": I just couldn't see the moon through the window.
