Our Special Date Night

It was pretty hard to see the orchestra from where we were perched... the fourth balcony~~nosebleed seats. He said he didn't care that we couldn't see. ''The music sounds just as pretty from up here Mom! '' I watched him as he peered over the railing, craning his neck to see those big bass drums get beat. He said that was the best part. ''That's cool, the smallest girl in the whole orchestra gets to play the biggest instrument! '' He doesn't normally listen to classical music but tonight he was a Gershwin fan. He sat there on the edge of his seat just tapping along like a ''classical connoisseur''. He was so proud to be my date tonight. He wore his best ''button-up'' shirt and made sure his hair was in the perfect spikes. He is every mothers dream and I will cherish our special date night for a very long time.
