Tonight...

Tonight, little boy, you were busy.
You started the evening with a little nap...but momma was scared it would keep you up too late, so I woke you.  When I went in to do so, you were sleeping like you typically do, with your bum in the air and your feet crossed underneath. You were so peaceful. Oh how I treasure your little toes. You cuddled with momma while you woke up, and then took "suzie" (your soother) out, and shook your head "no" you didn't want it back.
Tonight, you skyped with your "ga-ga" and talked and talked and talked.
Tonight, you turned your music on and off, and danced with just your head.
Tonight, you were army crawling while looking under the furniture for some treasure (and you did manage to find a few items).
Tonight, you were climbing onto (and into - yikes!) your highchair, and tapping your head so I noticed what a big boy you are.
Tonight, you ate grapes and yogurt for supper.  That's it.  You couldn't be convinced that anything else tasted good.
Tonight, I noticed just how good you are at manipulating your spoon...you put it in to your mouth right side up, but turn it over and scoop every last morsel before you take it out of your mouth again.
Tonight, you sat in your box, with your blankie and read stories to yourself. I love that.
Tonight, you showed momma your ears, your eyes, your nose, your belly, your lips, your hands, your fingers, your toes and your hair.
Tonight, you woke daddy up to take you to bath (cause that is the quality daddy time for you each day) and momma just wouldn't do for that task (you shook your head emphatically no when momma asked if she could give you a bath)....(daddy was tired today after staying up with you for three hours in the middle of the night last night).
Tonight, little boy, you ripped up kleenex after wiping your own nose, and wiping the table (yes! in that order), and made funny faces while talking to momma about it. You are such a copycat.
Tonight, you seemed just so grown up.  Momma can't believe just how grown up you are getting.
Tonight, just like every night, little boy, you are loved.
And...tonight...you are still my baby.

xoxo
Momma
