:: it happens every week when we’re gathered…not just because everyone was feeling “festive” today…
the being smiled at…and hugged on…and encouraged…and told “i love you”…again and again…
and him and me, we agreed when we got home…we don’t deserve this family of friends we’ve got!

that littlest little working so hard at our knob…until he finally worked it free…
and him and blankie circling ‘round to my side of our bed…
and me pulling him up…and then down into the valley between him and me…
and him settling down between us…his little head pressed tight to my chest…
and the three of us content to just take our time waking up into this day…
that littlest little…snuggling!
just him…and him…and me!
:: eian still doesn’t want to be a superhero…
…even after i’ya showed him how fun it can be!
eager unstuffers!
geoffery the despondent dragon
– eian and emma’s collaboration – he supplied the doodle…she supplied the eyes and the teeth, the hands and the feet…and the four little spikes on his tail!

finding a sweet note in my box the very first thing…
having a lingering-long-after-she-cleared-our-table lunch date with him…
learning they could all come to share our first peppermint ice cream and cocoa of the season…
that boy o’ mine sitting down next to me and just needing to talk…even to me…just his mama…
and…really…just eventually losing count…
just truly more reasons than i deserve on this monday!
