Pure sweetness

I can't get enough of his one year old sweetness today.

He's been melting my heart all day-

 the way he's methodically unloading all my cupboards

cuddling up during story time today

splashing at the pool

giving away kisses

"BAA"ing at all the cows we passed today as they "MOO"ed at us

and my favorite- when i went to pick up him from his nap he smiled and clapped his hands!

(Last week I went in to get him, he took one look at me and said, "da da?"

I told him dad was at school, it was just mama.

"Da da?" again and again.

Finally he was convinced that it was just mama at home.

He furrowed his brow, said NO and rolled away from me.

I'm pretty used to being the slighted parent.)

I want to remember all these adorable memories,

you know, to get through the less than adorable moments.

Even the cutest boy in the world has a few of those.
