It's so funny to me, the thought of a free day is almost impossible to fathom at this point. Being a mom of four, it's not entirely based on my responsibilities throughout an average day, but it has a good deal to do with it. I think a lot of the reason I find it a difficult thought is because of the fun things that happen in the course of my normal day for us. My kids are really fun little people!
I love making the baby smile, and my 3rd born is such a musical guy; music just moves him. Most toddlers will dance a little as they go through certain stages or when they're prompted by a parent or caretaker to do so. But not Silas, music is in his bones. Its doesn't matter what kind of music it is, how loud or soft, tempo is no hurdle for him. He hears any kind of beat and he just starts moving. He shakes his little shoulders and wiggles his tiny hips. Turns circles and gallops around the room. I've even seen the boy dance to the sound of my bread maker!
It's also funny to me that this post is titled "What I Would Do if I Had a Free Day", and all I've done so far is write about my kids! I seem to always want a free day, I think about pedicures and manicures, eating at the restaurant that I pick, by myself. That would all be nice. There certainly are some stores I would like to visit without 8 little hands reaching for everything on the shelves and 8 little feet running in varying directions! But mainly, I think I would want a day off of our normal routine, not a day away from my family though.
That's it! I wouldn't take a day off, I would take a free day as the post said. A day free of our normal commitments and schedule. Free from the hum-drum of life as we know it. Maybe go to a hotel in our own city and act like tourists or stay there and swim and play and just plain have fun together.
But definitely, I would have to let Silas show off his mad skills, definitely have to take Silas dancing!
