bounce
so, i'm at the kitchen bench, blitzing a mid-morning breakfast smoothie (which i don't really *need* - because upon my arrival home from the gym at the crack of dawn, there was a sexy Bulldog whizzing around making me a portobello mushroom and poached egg on dark brown grainy bread.. and a grilled tomato, AND asparagrass - which i am buying up left, right and centre cos the season's nearly over... but i am addicted to spirulina smoothies - because they are green and good and they make me feel so healthy) and i glance up and catch eyes with a little golden-haired-boy, full of bounce, who immediately starts making "I LOVE YOU SO MUCH" sign language gestures to me as the sunlight creates a haloed kiss upon his head.
this spunky littl'un is grinning all over, waving his arms, blowing me kisses, clutching his hands to his chest, and spinning around and around. as i grab the camera and sprint outside, i hear his babyvoice calling, "Mu-u-u-u-m!!! I LOVE you SO MUCH!!!" and we revel in his uninhibitedness and i send my thanks into the great wide universe for such a gift as my Bouncey Mousey - cos i asked for him, and he was given. and he shows me his moves, and i try in vain to capture our moment - his exhuberance, his delight, his sweetness, the sunshine all around.

What a wonderful morning...and what a beautiful boy!! Your entry made me happy!
I should know by now not to read your post when there are little peeps around cos the tears come especially since I understand about losing one and then waiting so long for the last who is like the best bits of everybody all rolled together. They pat me on the shoulder and I say it's ok, happy tears and they shake their heads and run out to lunch. Magic post. xxx
He is so special, we in the M whanau are big fans xxxx
Smiling bigly...
Uplifting. Catch him and hold him and squeeze him and don't let him grow up! :)
You know I'm kidding. They're a different kind of dear as they grow, you already know. I told you that Owen has taken to chuckling and saying,in a tone that mixes amusement with pity, "Mom, you are so funny." Hmmph!

sometimes i wish i could freeze time and freeze these little people in it. but then i LOVE watching them grow and unfurl, and i LOVE the bigness of the bigger people too. this post freezes the memory of this moment, at least...
