you are my middle child.
since your brother was born most of my attention has been taken. I don't get many opportunities to spend one-on-one time with you or your sister, I'm usually spread thin. when a chance presents itself I take advantage and this morning was one of those times. I see it in your eyes, you still need me and want me the way you did when you were just a babe. you're my first boy, you introduced me to that new love. I'm the most important woman in your heart. I'm your comfort and whether you know it or not, you're mine.
it was just a simple bath but for me it was time my soul needed. watching you sit in those bubbles and enjoy the quiet. we went fishing, we sank ships, you spent most of the time drinking the water or pouring it over your head.. silly hippo boy.
you are my babe, every day for the rest of your life.. my sun, my moon and all of my stars.
