April 1st

No April Fools jokes this year.  In fact, the day came and went without incident.  So odd..

Some mornings I wake up and especially struck by my good fortune in having you around me.  We woke up and you smiled and took a deep breath, sighed while drawing my hand around you into a tighter snuggle.  You're so delicious.  My life is so delicious with you in it.  What an unbelievably lucky person I am... All lives have rough parts, and life itself has some really cruel aspects built in... Sometimes we all can get into our "what must I have done to deserve all of this crap luck..." or whatever places... For every second that I have ever worried myself over my negative karma...I seem to be being paid back in reassurance for getting to hang out with you.  (Did that make sense outside of my head?  Boiled down:  "what must I have done to deserve all of this wonderfulness in this child.")

Good times with Rosie and Milo were had after school at school, and then again at Michaels and Five Guys...the good times with you all just keep coming, ya know?

We came home and you weren't about sleep.  You were about warm days and porch playing and so I made a rainbow of our stairs as you played in your sandbox. 

Steph came home with fries and toys from Wendy's because, Man, sometimes fries and toys from Wendy's are the answer.  You got an ear microphone, and I honestly have no idea how you understood so entirely how to use it, but you did, and you cuted the use of it for the rest of the evening...
