The little things that make you fall in love, again

On my way home from work yesterday, my boyfriend called me to tell me he would meet me at the gym, and had already picked up a rotisserie chicken (cause I need the protein for low iron), as well as a bottle of fish oil supplements...and a bottle of prenatal vitamins.

For some reason, that alone made my heart swell. I thought it was extremely kind, of him. I could just see the check out person looking at a man buying prenatals...I found the mental picture funny.

We begun saying grace every night at dinner. Doodle just loves this. He says it, all the while Boyfriend is teaching it to him. We all hold hands and pray over our dinner.

As we were trying to convince Doodle to eat more chicken, (there isn't' a vegetable this boy won't stick in him mouth, and sometimes the only thing he wants to eat), he always counters with "cause it will make me strong like boyfriend."

Last night, The Boyfriend was being silly with Doodle, and doing this weird thing were he would pretend to be blowing in his thumb, and that was blowing his bicep up. Doodle thought this was the funniest thing ever, and gave some of the deepest bellied laughs I have heard in a while.

This went on and on, until most everything was eaten and we cleared the table and went off for baths and bedtime stories.

These are the things that make me the happiest.....

These are the moments I want back everyday without the interruptions of my mind whirling around, when is that piece of mail going to come with my next court date, or if the EX does somehow show up at my door step in two weeks.....
