Love Bugs

Gentle, funny little man. Rare quiet moments punctuated with so many questions, so much to learn, to grasp. Days of constant chatter, commentary making me giggle at the mundane.

"You're my best friend, Mummy". Sweet love.

Sporadic sloppy kisses and your wide-eyed wonder.

My inquisitive, funny Noah. My Tookie Catty. Currently detesting sleep time. Loving train time.

Sometimes I sneak in to watch you sleeping. Gentle arcs of closed eyes. I smell your warm, milky breath and hover. Trace your soft hair. My heart fills. You move or snuffle, I freeze for fear I may be caught. I leave the room in love. Full of unyielding mummy love. When you do wake, you're full of secret smiles.
