How about when we're trying to feed Ava dinner, and after much frustration she lays her head on the table and closes her eyes and pretends to snore...
Or how about when we're climbing three flights of stairs from the parking lot and it's all quiet and you hear this loud belch coming from such a tiny person and you hear a giggle in the hallway followed by "scuse you!"
And how about when I'm trying to blog on my laptop and I look down 20 minutes into it and see that my big black cat has inched his way onto my lap... all 4 paws in the air and a big smile on his face with his eyes closed!
How about when Ava's watched Finding Nemo so many times in the last week that she's starting to talk along with the movie. "Meemo, NO! Dowi, Meemo, No No NO!"
How about when we sit down to dinner, and Stevie freaks out because we tell her that the water in her glass is from the tap... (when there's clearly a bottle of Culligan on the table!)
And how about when I'm in the bathroom, sorting clothes and starting the washer and Ava comes running because she loves to sit on top of the dryer and help me throw the dirty clothes into the washer!
But what if when they grow up and all these little moments fade away into distant memories... oh how dark and lonely the house will be when these little lights move on to shine in other parts of the world!
Aw that was so sweet! You made me tear up at my desk!!
