For Grandma

If I told my Mom every single thing that Brendan ever did – if she were right here, following him around day in and day out – if she saw every picture that I ever took of him, even the blurry rejects, it would still not be enough for her. She can’t get her fill of that little man, and frankly – I understand. She has reminded me three times to try and find a mail that I sent to her with a little tidbit about Brendan – because she “meant to file it in her special folder, and it got lost”. I can’t find the mail, and as long as I’m retelling the story, I thought I may as well do it here since I don’t have access to Grandma’s “special folder” and may some day want to recall these memories myself.

The story she wanted me to tell was that I went down to see Brendan, and he was still taking his nap. Sometimes I stay around and sit by him, and look at him and arrange his blanket so that the silky corner is perfectly positioned on his cheek and hand – hoping that with his first peek of eye he will see his Mama and I can scoop him up and cuddle him for a while. But this time he wasn’t even stirring, so I took a quick peek, stole a quick kiss, and headed back to my office. A little while later I got a call. I answered, but nobody was there. Then I heard a quiet whisper from a teacher voice, “Say, ‘hello mommy!'”. Then I heard my sons little voice, “Hi Mommy!”.
I said, “Hi Baby! Did you just wake up from your nap?”
“Yeah!” he said.
“How is your day going?”, I continued.
“It good!”
“Do you want Mama to come down and give you a hug?”
“YEEEEEEEAH!”
So off I went.

There are a few other favorite moments from recent days:
– He has a new favorite movie: Toy Story. I know this because when we were looking at which movie he would like to watch, he pointed to Toy Story and said, “That my favorite!”. And when we finally watch our tiny pieces of the movie and get to the end after several sittings, as the credits are rolling by he always says, “That’s a good show”. Of course when Daddy asked him about other movies, he told us each of them was his favorite – and then finally he said, “No, no, no – LION KING my favorite!”. I love favorites.

– Two nights ago Daddy and I went in to check on him before we went to bed, and Brendan’s little foot was poking out the rungs of his crib. Daddy bumped it and Brendan stirred as we stayed as still as humanly possible. Then, Rob decided to try and put his foot back in the crib. Just as my head was asking, ‘has he lost his mind???’ Brendan says, “Don’t DO That!!”. We looked over, and he was still totally asleep. Sleep scolding. It’s a new thing.

– Others: Big Boy Water, telling Mommy that she ‘drive fast’ (it’s true…), putting his baby giraffe ‘to bed’ in our towel holder, talking about going back to ‘Mickey House’, bare feet with linty toes, late night snuggles… even though they make Mommy tired in the morning, they are worth it.
