I know that some day I'll look back on this picture and get teary-eyed. It's hard to explain why it holds a lot of emotion for me. I won't belabor you with my wandering thoughts of why it's so, but I will share the snapshot nonetheless.
Simeon is still at the stage where I feel comfortable taking a shower with him. We don't do it every day, but this morning he stumped into the kitchen after rolling out of bed, took off his pajamas and said, "Mama, can I pweez take a shower wiff you?"
So we showered. And played peek-a-boo with the shower curtain. He gave me a big hug after we were both dry and said, "I wuv you too." He often hugs me and says that. I guess that means he knows that he's loved.
I read this and got teary eyed! That is precious.
