I'm book marking this one for when the kids are teenagers and driving me crazy.
William and Amelia are in bed. Currently, they are sharing a bedroom and have the same bed time. Amelia usually falls asleep within minutes. William takes a little longer- sometimes more than an hour if he has a good book in his hands (he is like his mama that way).
Tonight Amelia is already asleep and The Daddy and I are enjoying what we call "cute baby time". It is really the only time of day Gemma is the center of attention and we enjoy the few minutes of her babyhood before we put her to bed also (for the first time at least).
Gemma took off crawling and John and I just watched her down the hallway (90% to tired to go get her and 10% enjoying). She turned into the big kid room and erupted into giggles. I heard her crawl a little further and then I heard William laugh.
William: hey geemie*! What are you doing in here!
Gemma: giggles and then vocalizes what I think will turn into "hi" (as is has an "I" ending sound, has the hi inflection and she frequently does it when she is waving.)
William: giggles, then laughs
The next 5-6 minutes, all we can here are giggles of delight from our oldest and youngest child. Delight in having found each other and delight in each other's laughter.
Precious, precious children. Precious, precious memories.
John finally went in to get the baby when things started getting a little loud and William said: My cheeks hurt from laughing and smiling SO much Daddy. I just love Gemma SO much Dad.
Melts. My. Heart.
*William calls her Gee-me. Why? Who knows.
