6:12PM ON A FRIDAY NIGHT:

While your Dad celebrated his birthday with a nice cold birthday beer watching UNLV, we sort of gave him some peace and quiet by watching a movie & having a snack in our room.

I watched you as you watched Monsters Inc. 

You kicked your legs in the air and enjoyed a cookie or two.

You cuddled up into the blankets.

You shoveled more cookies into your mouth.

Your lizard watched the movie too.

The movie was starting to get real good.

After a while, you got restless, so we jumped on my bed.

You pounced on the pillows and hid between the sheets-giggling, waiting for me to find you.

I would say, "Whhherres Conrad?" 

And you would answer with a giggle and a foot in the air.

 Then, you snuggled down under the sheets and squealed with delight when I finally found you.

 You posed with a hand on the knee like a professional underwear diaper model. Your chin dimples were melting my heart as I peeked through my lens at your beautiful, boyish features.

 With your lizard gripped tightly in your hand, you shouted for more as I jumped up and down on the mattress making you bounce with each jump.

 You gave me that squinty-eyed smile where your nose crinkles up and makes my heart 

beam with adoration. I SO treasure you, my sweet little 2  year old boy.
