things I need to remember

I've been delinquent on Colin's baby book for almost a year now, but there are some things I don't want to forget, so I need to put them on the blog before I do.  Like this morning.  Colin woke up early, about 630.  It was still dark out and I went in his room to see if I could get him to fall back asleep.  When I got there, though, he was wide awake.  When he realized it was me coming in his room, out of the darkness his happy little voice said, "Mommy?"  I said, "yes?"  He said, "We are buddies!"  I said, "yes, we are buddy."  And then, "I love you mommy!"

That was about the best start to the day I could ask for.
