Today

Today he picked absolutely everything off the living room floor and put it away without me even asking. He plumped up the pillows on the sofa by flipping them over just like I do and made sure the throw pillow was arranged just right. Today he drew pictures as birthday presents for his brothers and his friend Oliver and he allowed Eli, his three-year-old friend, to beat him at wrestling. And today as we lay together in his bed before nap time, he cuddled up to me and said, "I love you, mommy." Me too baby. Me too.
