bright spots in my week as a mama:

joseph composing the "righteous song" on the piano -- "(playing softly) righteous, righteous.. (banging LOUDLY) righteous! righteous!" -- and following it with the "bulldozer truck song," "dada song," and "mama song."


giving this sweet boy a bath tonight and marveling at the fact that he's a real whole person who i get to know (and bathe for now) -- i'm finding myself largely unable to fully describe the wonder of this. and the bath from two nights ago that resulted in this smooth-studious boy.


the sweetest extended night-night hug for mama followed by, "in the bed" from joseph.. sorry, mama must have forgotten she had to put you down while she was wrapped up in her mama-moment.

major nesting instinct resulting in what feels like miles of tiny fabric birthday banners for the babe's birth announcements and two crocheted hat projects in starting stages.


hope your weeks were wonderful.

What a sweet boy you have! I can't wait to meet your new baby! I am glad to see that he/she will have his/her mama's staple flag banners to welcome him/her home. :) I love them. I'm toying with the idea of making a pilgrimage to Louisville in the spring with the kids while Ryan is lost in in-patient month. What do you think? I'll keep you posted. Happy nesting!
