Things to not forget

Why is is ALWAYS to easy to see everything from such a perfect perspective at the end of the day when the kids are fast asleep:) The perspective I am speaking of is the one that allows you to see all the little things that you take for granted all day (or even drive you crazy all day) as the perfect little details of life that you don't ever want to forget.  Some things I don't ever want to forget from last week...
Grant, with his Teddy and Blanket, I can't imagine I would ever forget what he looks like all cuddled up with it, perfectly safe and secure with the items that we specifically chose (one of which was waiting for him in his crib before he was even born) for him, hopefully to make him feel just that way... perfectly safe and secure

... and the scratches on his face, of which we don't know where they came from, but that is SO not uncommon for this child, he has been bumped and bruised since very early on:)

And Joel, who always looks like an angel when he sleeps with perfectly rosy cheeks and hair always going straight up... tell me I won't ever forget this stuff!

Their pajama shirts laying on their dresser... they must have decided after we put them to sleep to take them off and the both tossed them on over... this is pretty much nightly for Joel:)

Joel's Mt Dew chap stick, which we got from the dollar spot at Target this morning and he has been obsessed with all day. He always has to make sure the Mt Dew symbol is properly lined up when he puts the cap back on.

Joel must have tossed his blanket down too...


The tub of Aquaphor cream I am have been putting on joel under his lip for over a month, where his skin is all chapped from him constantly licking it.
