Today was a lazy morning. We laid in bed for way too long this morning, reading "Blue", having tickle fights, and giggling. You wanted some chocolate that I have on the headboard since I was craving it something awful a few weeks ago. I gave in, what's some chocolate going to hurt? Some mornings, fighting about what is and isn't okay for breakfast really just isn't worth it. Am I going to let you have chocolate every morning? No. But every once in a while I think it does way more good than it does harm.

So when I bit the piece of chocolate in half and gave it to you, you were overjoyed. Like, overjoyed is an understatement. Pure untethered happiness. Joy. You smiled at me and a little chocolate drool escaped your sweet little lips. I laughed so you laughed. Good gracious, do you know how infectious your laugh is? No one, and I mean I really have never met someone who when you laugh did not also laugh. It's such a gift that you can make people laugh and smile with your own laugh and smile.

You laid down next to me on your side and looked into my eyes. I wanted to cry. I could see how much you loved me in those sweet blue eyes of yours. You kissed me and laughed and reached for another piece of chocolate.

I'm so glad I gave you chocolate instead of a real breakfast. I know you love me of course but to see it in that way. I'm so happy to have you my sweet boy.

Love,

Your mama
