you get to giggle for no reason. Will comes in the door from the bus giggling, which always cracks me up because he has the cutest little giggle. I ended up laughing too, just because he was, and I was crying before it was over. He told me why (a joke) but took him a minute or two to get it out because he was laughing so hard. Good times.
Now. You. Go.

...because my ornery little boy, who never wants to be held, still loves to be rocked and snuggled in his "blankey" at night. The same blankey I swaddled him up in as a newborn.

My 19-mo old loves to wave. He waves good-bye when I'm off to work. He waves hello when I come back home. He waves across the dinner table. He waves good-bye when he's put in his crib at bed time.

I can dance like a fool and she doesn't think I'm a dork. I can laugh at her and she doesn't get offended. She greets me with a smile every morning and makes the whole day start off on the right foot.

Because I can snuggle with him in my bed which makes us both warmer and when I move him to his bed, he wakes up...snuggles his nose behind my ear...and sighs "Mama, I love you...."
