Because

Because the baby who just learned to walk will still take a few minutes to stop walking and snuggle with her favorite aunt.

Because The Hubby, who never so much as held a baby, flocks to the two-year-old with cerebral palsey and makes her giggle.

Because The Hubby finds as much amusement as a three-year-old in jumping over every crack in the Walmart floor.

Because a three-year-old swinging his legs while holding our hands walking to the car is great fun - a great arm workout!

Because there is no better sound than a young child's incessant giggle.

Because it is so much fun to learn how much they know.

Because I love the brownies in the kids' frozen meals and, somehow, I always end up with them.

Because seeing The Hubby and three-year-old cuddle in their sleep melts my heart.

Because my Raspy needs a new BFF - much to Daddy's chagrin.

Because after a full weekend with three-year-old, we weren't exhausted and relieved to have our quiet (ha!) home back - in fact, it would have been just fine if he had stayed, permanantly.
