and THIS is why this kid makes me smile

I think back to when #1 was born. We were such typical new parents. Pictures every 20 minutes, gentle baths thinking we were gonna break him, up at EVERY sound throughout the night thinking he would stop breathing at any second, packing every.single.thing. under the sun in the diaper bag every.single.time. we went out....all these things done (and much more) to ensure we'd be the perfect parents.

Who knows what I did right with #1 but he has so far turned out to be the cutest kid. The way he loves his brother brings tears to my eyes. Always thinking of him no matter if he's around or not. The things he comes up with are just too funny. I wish I could record every moment so when I'm old and sitting in a wet diaper, I could play them over and over and over.....this one specific moment will have to do for now anyway. I came home from work to find this on the table. He worked hard to type it up on the computer and can't wait to send it off.

He makes me smile this #1 kid of mine.

How lucky am I?

Pretty damn lucky.
