Right Here.

It looks like the crib climbing was not a one time event. Last night we had a little visitor at 12:45. Daddy was working at the computer so Brendan climbed in bed with Mommy and flopped around all over the bed for an hour or so (spending a majority of the time laying squarely on Mommy’s head). He was not happy about the idea of going back into his own bed, but Daddy and I laid down on the floor by his crib until he went to sleep. He kept peeking over the side to make sure we were still there, and then finally he settled back in. We weren’t apart for long though, because he came back in at around 6:15 to wake us up. He wanted a bottle, and then later he said he wanted another bottle. We are technically done with bottles – he drinks out of big boy cups for everything else, but he still prefers his milk warm, and out of a bottle. We’ll cut him off soon, but not quite yet… So when he asked for a second bottle, Rob said, ‘What?? You’re not a baby!’ and Brendan replied, “Yes I am! I’m mommy’s baby!” He had us there – this is always what I tell him when he says he’s a big boy.

I also witnessed him CLEARLY flirting with the mother of one of the little girls in his room. He was telling her every story he could think of, including how the guys at our house were going to open up all the boxes and put in a brown floor so he could drive his two race cars from Santa. And then my favorite part – he looked up on the wall at some pictures that have been there for at least six months and said, “Heeeeey…. who’s that? OH! It’s me! I was riding a choo choo train – it said chugga chugga CHOO CHOOOOOOOO!”. The kid has moves.

Last night when putting him to bed we had our bath, put our pj’s on, read our book, snuggled on the chair, got all the way through singing his three favorite songs in bed, and I was just ready to walk out of his room when he said “I wanna cuddle in the chair”. Something about his tone made me realize it was more than just procrastination. Turns out he wanted to talk about a couple sad things that happened during his day. Mommy had a few good reminders for him, and as he was feeling better he looked right into my eyes and said, “Mommy – you have pretty eyes”. I thanked him and told him a few of the thousand things I love about him and then added that I loved that we both had blue eyes and that I was certain that all the time I spent looking at him had made my eyes more beautiful. Then he looked up at me again and said, “Mommy, I will always be riiiight here.” I said, “That’s always what Mama tells you, isn’t it baby? That no matter if we are in the same room or not, I will always be right here with you.” And he said, “No Mama – I will always be right here – with you!”

That boy. He fills up my heart like a balloon until I’m certain it will explode from all the love.

    Thanks for that post–leaving in a day or so for Cuba. It has me out-of-sorts. This helps sort it out.
