The way you do the things you do

Oh, Ben!!!
I just love it...

...when we put you down for the night and you lay in your crib talking about bahskitbaw. Seriously, you're obsessed. You talk about basketball all the time. I love that it brings you so much joy.

...how after a tubby (which is still really fun to whisper) you run from the bathroom stark naked and laugh the whole way up the stairs and climb onto our bed while we wrestle jammies on you and you pretend to put lotion on your body as you fall into our pillows saying "ni-ni!"

...how you almost always settle down when I sing. You still love music so much that makes me happy.

...when you pretend to drive the car when we're parked in the driveway. I especially love when you fuss with the radio and dance when you finally find a song you like.

...how (just like daddy) you always ask me if I have my keys as we're leaving the house in the morning. You usually ask me as I'm grabbing my purse and then again as I'm closing the door. Thanks, buddy.

...that you love putting things away and throwing trash out. Thank you for helping pick up your toys and for doing it so cheerfully and on your own initiative!!

...that you like to see Daddy kiss me and when we're trying to give you goodnight kisses, you push our heads together and say "more, more" and watch us love each other. Please don't ever stop doing that.

I hope he never looses his sweetness.
