Man, this election cycle, this news cycle -- it's got me down.
Fortunately, I get to spend my days with this dude.
This dude, when you pick him up to sing him a lullaby and pat him on the back, he pats you on the back, too.
This dude almost never passes up the opportunity for a hug or kiss.
This dude came over to give me a hug while I was sitting on the ground, and then he pushed his legs against the ground so we just rocked back and forth for a long time. "This is nice," I said. He nodded.
This dude, when you tell him you love him, smiles and nods.
This dude can't quite say "love" yet, but he can say "heart sister" or "heart Papa."
This dude, if he has some really yummy food, wants you to have some, too.
This dude doesn't want to bathe alone -- he wants sister to come join the fun.
He also doesn't want the babies to be lonely in their solitary baths.
He likes the toys where there's a mama and a baby the best.
He likes to peep into strollers to see the baby, and wave hello.
Today as we turned into the parking lot of his sister's camp, started saying "sister! Sister! A-deh, A-deh!" She got in the car, and I told her, and she said, "Aw, what do you call me?" He answered, "Honey."
