i love you more than i can say. all the words in the universe in any combination don't describe it just right. how, WHY did i get so lucky? i've been thinking about how blessed i am to have you, you and your sweet laugh, you and those eyes that look up at me, you and those cheeks.
those. cheeks. begging to be nibbled. you and your laugh, the laugh that makes my heart flutter.
tonight you danced, flailing your arms, twirling in circles and singing. cuddled your dad and let me hold you close while we read no more monkeys jumping on the bed. we shook our fingers at those silly monkeys together. you rested your head on my shoulders while I held you to my chest, pulling your arms in tight.
ni-nite little guy. mommy loves you.
be mine, be little. be this way forever.
why god, does it all have to happen so fast?
and if you insist on growing, just remember that no matter how big you get, you're still my baby boy.
ugh. words uttered out of my mouth and mind everyday. now the little one is too smart and says, "because mama, i have to growed up and be a big boy!". geez..wish i could hold them back.
