Year 1, Day 166

Happy Valentine's Day little love. Though I couldn't possibly need a special day set aside each year to express how much I love you, it's nice to have a full day to celebrate. 

I love you when you save up your kisses and hugs and then just release them in rapid fire to anyone around you.

I love you when you cover your eyes with both little hands, and pretend that we can't see you.

I love you when you lay your head on anything soft, as if to cuddle up and fall asleep immediately (the kitty, pictures of a cat, stuffed animals, and blankets).

I love you when you run up to me with a book and throw it on my lap . . . and then climb your way up and cuddle as you listen.

Of course, I also love you on those rare occasions when you wake up screaming countless times a night.  And, even when you toss your food to the kitty, spit up your medicine all over your pajamas, squirm and fight when I change you, throw a tantrum when I pick you up at daycare, and lay on the floor motionless in absolute protest. I love you to pieces, everyday and every moment. 

Happy Valentine's Day monkey.
