Love in the afternoon...

It's moments like this that make all the "Clean Restroom" days worth it! We have an afternoon routine now and it goes something like this:
Clara: "Mommy put on princess music pwease!"
I que up ‘Once Upon A Dream’ from the Sleeping Beauty soundtrack.
Max waits in the wings (aka dining room) for the call...
Clara, coyly: "Prince Phiwip, Oh Prince Phiwip..."
Me, prompting Max to come forth in grandeur: "Ahem, Ahem, AHEM!"
Max comes around the corner, proud and gallant and true.
Clara gives her hand to him and they dance,dance, DANCE swirling around our kitchen as if they were on Dancing with the Stars.
I float around them with Zoe on my hip on a cloud of joy and dismay that these are the same two children who were in full armor over something trivial, like who gets the last grape popsicle, moments ago...

Back to that cloud...
