Anyway, we got a package from my Jana and her mom today. Any guesses on what was inside? That's right - a cd titled Hushabye Baby; Lullaby Renditions of George Strait. Naturally, I ran upstairs with Jack in tow and popped the cd in. It's an unbelievable cd. Let me put it this way - it's the most incredible of all GS songs + well-worn guitar = I'm in love! Baby Blue, Carried Away, I Saw God Today, etc. But the one that I just couldn't wait to hear was Amarillo By Morning.
**Disclaimer: the next portion of the post could possibly make me a total redneck / country girl . . . as if there were any doubt that wasn't already true. I am a true Texan after all.
So... the much awaited song began. Jack was beginning to snooze on my shoulder by this point and out of nowhere - or maybe just my country roots - I felt myself beginning to slowly two-step. That's right. I warned you. Jack and I had our very first two-step dance. Right there in his bedroom. What a sweet moment with my baby boy. I don't really care if it makes me a total dork or if it changes how you think of me. I've come to discover that's part of being a mom. You do things you wouldn't have done before having a baby, and love every minute of it! I'm sure it won't be our last dance together - at least I hope not. But next time, I'll put my boots on first.
The video doesn't "go" with this post, but I thought it was too cute not to share.
haha. He's like...what's going on. Is this supposed to be happening? I kind of like this and I'm kind of confused.
ReplyDeletehaha, i think lizzi's right. lots of new things to take in this week, apparently!
ReplyDeleteI won't lie, George Strait is pretty amazing (to hear and to look at, let's be honest). I think my first "real" concert was a George Strait one. Maybe it was Garth Brooks...but I definitely went to GS and loved it. And, he definitely has some classics. Dancing with the baby is totally acceptable, by the way, not crazy!
