Counting The Hours

You know what's awesome about my sweetie? Pretty much everything. He is away until Friday and we miss him something fierce, so here's a list of just some of the stuff that we love about him.

1.

He sometimes spends entire days singing a running commentary of everything we do in 80's power ballad style. In rhyme. AND he will interject lyrical editorials, mostly concerning poop. It is one of the funniest things in the world.

2.

He carries a baby sock around with him, pretty much everywhere he goes. He started when The Bear had teeny weeny feets and the socks were about half the size they are now. If the bear keeps growing like he is My Sweetie will be hefting a size 16 sock around by the time the kid hits 4 years old.

3.
He looks like this:
I would love him even if he wasn't mouth-dryingly, palm sweatily beautiful, but it sure doesn't hurt that he is. OR that he keeps getting better looking as he ages. Seriously, smiley crow's feet... YUM.

4.
He makes me a better parent and a better person. I feel more capable and braver and kinder and funnier when he is around. I guess because he is all those things and he has enough of them to share.

5.
Everything else about him, from his ability to make the worlds best sammiches to his funny hairy toes.

Sweetie, we miss you and can't wait for you to come home.
