Boys are awesome.
Especially this one.
Brendan wanted to play with his little fishing set, and it was 90 degrees outside, so I set out a pan of water for him to fish. Before we knew it, Brendan was stripping his clothes off and Daddy said, “Ummmmm… why are you taking your pants off?” Brendan said, “Cause I’m goin’ in!”
All dressed up for Giants Spirit Day at school (Go Giants!), dancing in the parking lot while swinging his monkey (George).
Boyhood perfection.
We went to a local carnival at a local school – 25 cent tickets that bought you such fun as jumpy house, a cake walk, a chance to win a fish (we tried MANY times with no luck), bean bag toss – and of course, a balloon sword. More perfection.
Teacher Rachael put a rainbow on his arm! Apparently this happens on Fridays – next Friday, Mommy is gonna show up. Cause I want my rainbow.
And of course… baseball.
Today his class was discussing what they should do during ‘circle time’. His teacher told me that Brendan’s suggestion was, “We could sing ‘You Are My Sunshine’ for my Mommy!”. He also couldn’t wait to tell me that he had collected some leaves in his cubby for me. I love that he knows I love these things.
I have to go out of town tomorrow morning. I’ll be away one night. And it’s too much.
There are not enough hours in the day, days in the week, weeks in the year, years in my life to spend with Brendan. I love him, and I love everything about him. My heart still has growing pains each days as it grows to fit my ever expanding love for that boy.
Perfect. We’re in a perfect place. Still. We love you.
