Magic
June 23rd, 2009
Today something wonderful happened for the first time. Just now, not even 5 minutes ago. My son, the affectionately named Pudding, climbed up onto my lap with glee and began holding open my eyelids to say “Hi Mommy” and “Hello Mommy.” He thought this was pretty funny.

It’s One of Those Days…
June 22nd, 2009
