Enjoying You

Hello there, my little boy blue,

I was writing to a good friend today about how much joy you give me lately, and I figured I should tell you too! It really seems to me that from the moment you were born, life with you (and you yourself!) just keeps getting better and better, more and more fun. Really truly ruly.

I watch you run your funny little run, where you run side to side, sashaying down the hallway.

I watch you laugh your big bellied, full bodied laugh when I become a tickle monster, telling me to stop and then asking for more.

I watch your wonderful little sideways grin when you tell a joke, calling a fire truck a bus, an apple a pear, a jumper pants, just so that I will laugh, call you silly and tickle you. 

I watch you playing with your cars or your trains, singing Happy Birthday, or Happy Talk, or Heads and Shoulders, or Rockabye Baby in your own wonderful, beautiful way. 

There are times when I can't take my eyes off our interlocking hands when we are walking down the street, knowing your hand will never be that small again.

I watch you sleep, your perfect little legs splayed apart, your five dummies scattered around you, your little koala shirt riding up to reveal the whitest, softest little belly, rising and falling.

I just want to breathe all of you in, every day, and not forget what you are like right at this moment.

I love you.
Love Mummy
