simplicity

Life is so easy with a 2 year old. And I mean that in the sense of only the simple things make The Mayor happy (or mad). The big things are lost on him, but those little things make all the difference. It really makes this time so precious and memorable. Considering in a few short years it will be iPods, video game consoles and who knows what else that will make our kids happy. But for now, I will relish the fact that only the little things make the differences.

We woke up this morning to a beautiful snowfall. The Mayor kept looking out the window with such excitement in his voice and saying "SNOW"! After breakfast, Bennett and Meega came over, again such excitement came over The Mayor when they walked through the door. The Mayor could not get enough of his little cousin. He had to hug him, kiss him and touch him.

Today was a low-key day, something we have not had in a long time. The Mayor's social calendar has been jammed packed lately. And I think we both appreciated the quiet play day we had in our own home. I didn't even mind that we had the TV on all morning. The Mayor was thrilled to be watching Sesame Street, Curious George and Super Why. Shows he hasn't seen in a long time. We played with his trains, read books, cuddled and enjoyed the day. The simple things. These days are more enjoyable than any other and the ones I will miss the most as he gets older.
