A Moment.


When I asked Mags what Christmas song she wanted to sing at bedtime tonight,
she informed me that she was going to lie awake and wait for her Dad to get home and sing.

45 min. later Joel arrived and I could hear the pitter patter of excited feet.

She had waited...

but before the singing could commence she need to go potty.

I was emptying the dishwasher as she came stomping down the stairs,
and I continued to empty the dishwasher
while she sat on the toilet and chit chatted with me down the hall.
She jabbered on about how Santa was a really nice guy...
a good guy
and how he had to go potty sometimes too.
She talked about how we were going to go to the gym tomorrow to give Santa her Christmas letter. She then finished her business, pulled up her jammers and ran past me heading back up the stairs.
About four stairs up she suddenly stopped in her tracks turned back to me and said
"oh! Do you wanna a kiss?"

"um... why yes... yes I do."

I then proceeded to educate her that I would indeed take a kiss anytime she had one to give.

Just one of those nights that my heart feels incredibly full...


On a side note...
Mr. Anderson has become incredibly inclined to thinking I'm the bestest...
It's a blessing and a curse...
but mostly a blessing.
