Delights

I once knew a man (in InnerChange) who would always say "Good morning delight!"

Well, that's generally what I think when I pick up Jesse from school--I'm just so happy to see him! Today he greeted me with this note that I think he worked out pretty much on his own. He's really been working on his words and it is incredible to watch him sound out words and then write them. They're often not right but pretty close!

Also, the other day as we were returning home from the school pick-up and then the playground, Luci was gurgling/cooing for a hug from Jesse, so Jesse leaned over into the stroller and hugged her. Then she gurgled again and with a warm smile he said, "You really like that huh?" and leaned in to give her another hug. Then there was yet another hug and he said, in Luci's ear, "Luci, I will always be in your life."

And I'm thinking, "Where does he get this stuff?" My heart just melts.

Some more delights I'm looking forward to this month are:

going to a Cinderella play with Jesse's class. They had some extra tickets so the whole family will be there. This is perfect because Luci keeps asking to watch the movie which she's never seen before.

time around the Christmas tree with the fam

bringing Christmas cookies to our neighbors upstairs. I may not be able to compete with the curries flying around but I should be in the top of my game Christmas cookie wise, since there is no competition.
