We are laying in bed last night – snuggled up, waiting for you to fall asleep. A few minutes pass.

You state out loud, “Mama, do you know what I do?”

“What Baby?”

“When Daddy is trying to leave the room, I just keep talking…. I tell him ‘I love you.’ ‘i will hug you in the morning. ‘i will tell give you a kiss in the morning.'”

[relatively long pause]

“I even do the ‘ummmm’s” and the ‘uhhhhh’s.’ They work just as well.”

I laughed so hard!!

Sigh – watching you grow is such a trip!!
