Though I’m at the office, I’m thinking hard about my little boy and loving him fiercely today. He’s in such a good spot right now and I wish I were home to fully enjoy it.

When you become a mom, people tell you that whatever your kid is doing, don’t get used to it because it’s a phase. This is usually meant as a reassurance. Not sleeping through the night? It’ll pass. Hitting? Just a stage.

The tough part is this knowledge stays with you when things are great. Which they are right now. Ryan slept past 8am today! He went to bed happily right at 7:30 last night and didn’t make a peep till the morning. This is not the norm for us and usually we feel lucky if he sleeps till 7:15. Also, he’s been so easy going. Nary a sign of the usual resistance to things like putting on a jacket or pajamas (what is it about jackets and pajamas that are so objectionable, by the way???).

And most of all, he’s just adorable. This morning he asked me to sit down with him for “just one minute” before I left for work. Then when I got up he said “I want a big hug!” I gave him one, I told Steve I wanted a big hug and gave Steve a kiss. At which point Ryan wanted a big kiss, too! Steve IMed me earlier during naptime to ask what we’re having for dinner. Ryan had told Steve “I want a special dinner” earlier. Steve asked what he wanted and Ry said “peppers.” This was after telling Steve he wanted to spend the day “doing errands.” So specific. :)

I don’t want this easy time to end!
