Mommy Lesson #5
“There’s no place like home.”
Dorothy, The Wizard of Oz
After spending three weeks in Florida, waiting for ICPC approval, I am happy to announce that Easton, Clay, and I are home together at last. Right now, Easton is sleeping in his crib and I hear the sound of my own washing machine. I see the golfers driving by on our golf course and of course, I am eating Cocoa Pebbles out of my own cheap bowls from Garden Ridge.
Life is good.
I think my favorite thing about being home, though, has been the sounds of friends and family holding Easton and loving on him. I never knew how much I would love to hear someone say, “Your baby is so cute.”
Whether they mean it or not, those words are actually better than:
- “I love your outfit.”
- “Have you lost weight?”
-”You overpaid on your escrow account, and we are mailing you a check for the difference.”
-”No school! Snow day!”
When we are not showing off our little man, Clay and I spend most of our time at home staring at Easton and watching him do the most amazingly cute things like 1.) Yawn 2.) Hiccup 3.) Stretch 4.) Sigh. Who knew that such simple things could blow our minds? I probably say, “Look at his face,” twenty times a day. I think our favorite thing he does right now is sneeze. I know that sounds weird, but he usually sneezes three times and then ends with a huge sigh of relief. It cracks me up. Clay will turn off the TV to hear the sneezes and then we both laugh.
Easton is our greatest entertainment. He is filling our home with the sweet sounds of baby.
How did your little baby entertain you? Did he or she have any cute expressions or habits that you will never forget?
