For moments like this...

I am glad I did not have to wait a lifetime. Recording those that I remember while I remember them.

• The way you put your arm around my neck when you know I might have to leave the bed and your side for a day's work.
• The way you kiss me of your own freewill and on both cheeks too. Sloppy wet kisses that are the best.
• The way you look for me as soon as you wake up in the morning with an announcement of 'amma'.
• The way you say 'bye' to me when asked to and then immediately demand 'thooki' with a naughty glean. You know I have to leave and sometimes say gibberish (which is rare for you) to keep me talking. It is an "Awww" moment for me every time.
• When you are content sitting on my lap reading a book with me.
• How you want to snuggle close to me when drinking your milk.
• When you say 'Itsy Bitsy' knowing I will sing it and tickle you silly.
• You and me sitting on the porch swing listening to the birds settling down at dusk. It never ceases to amaze me how you can sit perfectly still for about a min or so when I point out a bird sound.
• The three of us horsing around on the bed on a Sunday morning when we know we have no place better to be.
