Hide and Seek

“Hide and seek”

Almost three. I love this age. It’s a season of unbridled creativity, a time of endless questions, a period of non-stop silliness.

Miles wants to help with everything, or do it himself, which leads to a learning experience (aka giant fun mess.)

Sometimes he crawls into our bed at 5 am, puts his arm around my head, and strokes my hair, humming “twinkle twinkle little star.”

He often tells me “I’m so glad you’re here with me, Momma.”

Some days he even says, “Momma, you’re my best friend.” Other days it’s Dad. And recently, his best friend is Fig from Tumble Leaf.

He is magic, and he is my firstborn. I can’t believe I’m entrusted with his sweet spirit for the time being.

Parents, what is your favorite season of childhood so far?
