Silly Valentine



My Valentine today is a silly one. He is never still for a moment and nor was he ever. We just had a nap and he started out in his bed but woke up and I pulled him into the guest bed with me and snuggled with him and that is sweetness beyond sweetness, lying next to that boy, his entire self cradled in my arms and when he wakes up, he smiles the biggest smile you ever saw- such a joke to be in bed with Grandmother- how did this happen? It doesn't matter, it just is and now he is sharing crackers and a bottle with Pearl. No, I really shouldn't let him do that.

He is amazed at my tea cup because it has a rooster on it and he pointed to it and said, "Hot," which it is and he learns something new every day. Every day. And he wants to do all the new things and the old ones, too and this makes for extreme motion.

My house is a wreck, I haven't done the breakfast dishes, the floor needs sweeping and I think we're going to go on a walk.

Such a beautiful day. We shall do the right thing and go out in it.
