My boy was here yesterday, it's funny, because I can hardly remember a time before he was born. He has a contagious smile, a crazy sense of humor -- he's only 17 1/2
months old. I tell him he's rotten he only shakes his head yes, how could he not be with his sissy (aunt Sarah) and his nutty Nana. You can pretend to be asleep, you know with that snorting snoring sound and he'll run over to wake you up and in the next minute he'll run and lay his head down and do the same thing so you will wake him up. When your children grow up -- it seems you are no longer needed and are a little lost, because you feel as though you have been someones mother forever and you can't cut that off, there's not a button or a pill for that. You're a little lost and lonely -- and then an angel named Collin comes and finds you -- you are no longer lost or lonely you are filled to the brim with excitement and overwhelmed with a love that you had only heard existed and now you know, and now you understand.

Smile it's contagious

As it may be known I work with preschool children. Well I went to the grocery today. As I was approaching my car at the end of shopping; a little girl about 4 or so was sitting in the car with a grandmother. I noticed her because she kept smiling at me and waving with her pointer finger. I put my groceries in the trunk and proceeded to walk the buggy back to the store, as I returned to my car she had moved to the passenger side and just smiled and waved. She acted as though she recognized me in some way, I didn't know her but I waved and smiled as I backed out of my parking space and went on my way. At the end of a busy day, it was nice to have someone smile at you -- not because it's their job, but just because. Don't miss an opportunity to smile -- you never know what kind of day the other person is having.
