{thankful} for george

George. 

Little G.

G Bizzle. 

(I really call him that - weird?)

This kid is like none other. 
He has this innate sense of humor that entertains me

all the time, every day.

This is the kid, who 5 seconds into being scolded, looks at me with the earnest reply,

"You a pretty flower, Mama."

He asks to snuggle me every single day, and for him that means turning into a little barnacle,

his face smashed into mine, his legs wrapped around my torso,

he's not letting go.

When he was no more than two months old,

he would wail from his crib and as soon as I was in his field of vision,
 he'd start cracking up because he knew he'd just pulled a fast one on me.

He's trouble, that one.

Charming, goofy, hilarious trouble that has me wrapped around his little finger.

He moved into a big boy bed this week, which means I've spent my evenings 

laying on the hardwoods next to his bed so he doesn't meander.

And it's provided for some pretty silly conversations and tender moments.

He wants to hold my hand as he falls to sleep.

Sometimes I love him so much I think my heart might leap from my chest.

How could you not love a kid that wears his car jammies and daddy's helmet to ride a push toy around the driveway?

Though I can't blame him for the helmet after yesterday:

He took a little tumble face first on the concrete.

He also happens to be the toughest kid in the family.

George, I love you. 

You are one funny, loving little punk.

I love every single thing about you, sweet boy,

and I am oh so grateful that you're here to fill up my heart.
