this boy

What I am loving about this almost 4 year old boy of mine::

  • He loves giving nose kisses
  • He notices (with a bit of awe and excitement) when the moon lingers in the morning sky and asks why it's still there if the sun has already risen
  • Wants to know why bananas turn brown
  • Asks me with genuine curiosity, "so, mama, how was your day at work today?" Followed by "what did you do there?"
  • Is in the heart-melting habit of randomly saying "I love you mom. I care about you." Followed by "does that make you feel good when I say that?"
  • Can turn any conversation into a science lesson...including a discussion at the dinner table about why pumpkins rot, and a conversation in the bathtub about why buoys float. Love that.

About Me

Stubborn, opinionated, academic girl meets athletic, charming, Puerto Rican boy while studying abroad in Santiago de Chile. Falling in love in a foreign country ensues. Travel, study, marry, settle, make a baby. Enter Miles Gabriel. Life with a toddler keeps us busy. We decide to add more chaos to the mix. Another baby is born. Enter Lydia Wynne. Lucky acorns. I have two and I keep them close to my heart. How about you?
