7yo: “You have spider web hair”

5yo: “No she doesn’t!! She has nice old woman hair.”

Me: hobbles off to retirement home…

No Rest For the Weary

Like clockwork, he’s thrown up at 3AM the last 2 nights. Hoping for a solid night of sleep for us all tonight.

It begins with a twinkling of the eyes.

Building into grins.

Giggles.

Bursts of laughter.

Bonding.

The one who made his arrival into my life unexpectedly.

Made his arrival into this world early.

He has brought me so much joy.

Merely by exuding joy himself.

I love how he expresses his joy without any consideration for appearance.

Or self-consciousness.

Just total in-the-moment-ness.

Joy to the world.
