My precious boy...

My precious boy, do you know how much I love you? Today I took you on a walk with our friends from playgroup in Mimi's neighborhood. Each of you children carried their own basket to collect leaves in (thank you Kristi!) I loved watching you run along ahead with your arm flapping at your side and your little legs making your body bob up and down. I loved when you squatted down to examine a leaf carefully and select some for your basket. The best part for me was towards the end of the walk when I looked down at you, squatting down at the curb, busily stuffing wads of broken, brown bits of leaves into your leaf basket, as happy as when you were putting in the carefully chosen red and orange and yellow ones. My boy, you are precious. I wish I could freeze time. I love you, little one. :-)
