a moment of clarity in mommyland

i woke up boyo this morning to get him ready to go for the day–he rolled over all sleepy and pink faced, smiled at me. i whispered, ‘let’s go wake up BFG!’  (see cast list)

so he hopped out of bed, and walked to the door, then turned and hugged me, and said ‘happy valentine’s day, mommy’–i was a melted mess of goo right there.

i hugged him back, kissed his head and let him go attack BFG–but as BFG was already awake, boyo walked in and wished him a happy valentine’s day, then came skipping back down the hall.

i tell ya, as i heard him chirping to himself in the bathroom during morning ablutions, it was as good to my heart as a doily valentine.

hey kiddo, y’know what? when i look at you, i get hearts in my eyes.
