Although this is my first love list, it may be a little unconventional. I hope you find it just as meaningful, perhaps more.
1. Opportunity to see character development.
Miss one day with this kid and you feel you missed out. I LOVE THE DEVELOPING INDIVIDUAL! His continuous word comprehension and vocalization is remarkable. His excitement towards things he is interested in is nothing less than a full out, hard core, almost laughing smile that catches you off guard and feels SO GOOD!

2. Time spent with important people.
I wish a million times over I could spend more time with my own Grandparents, let alone my GREAT-grandparents. This little man gets to see one of his Great Grandma's often and he has no idea the joy it brings to her. I love listening to my dad tell me stories of the interactions of him and my Grandma that day. I melt with the vision that they, at 80+ years different, took on the day together. She knows all his favorites, makes him laugh, and exposes him to new. I wish I could also be spending time with her, but I feel that a little bit of me is each day. The stories displaying true love, that come out of each regular day experience, are something I will never get enough of. I love that J spends this time with her. He may not remember in 20 years, but I will, my dad will, and my grandma will from wherever she is.

3. Toddler innocence.
Saturday nights have changed. However, I may honestly get more belly laughs out of diapers and beer than college bars. Let your kid go free to play for a bit (within safe limits) and just watch. Toddlers are inquisitive, unsure, shy, fearless, determined, hesitant, and oh so INNOCENT! Put a few of them together on a Saturday night. LOVE.

4. STICKY GRAMS!
I am obsessed with Instagram photos. So when I discovered StickyGram I was pumped! To only make things better, J loves them! He peels them off the fridge, analyzes them, babbles about them and then proceeds to SNUGGLE with them!
Love.
