How Sweet It Is

You know those moments when you witness something that just makes you smile, laugh, or sigh deeply? Well, Benjamin and Morey provided me with one of them this afternoon. I had just set Benjamin on the floor for the first time since he got home from school with his daddy, so the living room was not a jumble of toys quite yet. Morey entered the room and jumped on the coffee table and I gave him a pat. Benjamin crawled to the table, stood up, and reached for Morey. I was encouraging him by saying, "Hi, Morey!" Benjamin obliged me with a giant smile followed by "Hi!" and a wave. Just so cute! I'm sure that I'm not setting the scene well enough here. I only wish I had my camera handy. To recreate the moment, you'll have to do some math:

Morey + Benjamin's wave = sweet moment

Like I said, I only wish that I'd had my camera. This picture of Benjamin is actually from Saturday when I coaxed him into waving at me. I love the wave! Now if I could only convince him to call me Mama or Mommy! So far, I'm still Daddy.

Sweet moment number two: Benjamin and Tim taking a well-deserved nap on the couch. (This is also the reason I'm blogging right now instead after Benjamin is in bed.) Tim had a busy, sweaty day at school - bounce house, cooking out, oh, and teaching - so he may be the one sleeping like a baby in this photo.

I'm so thankful for my family and this sweet day of my life.
