Falling in Love

Odd title I know but that is the only way I can describe the past two weeks. I was off with Lucas from December 23rd to yesterday. Pitt was closed and so was Lucas' daycare. That is one of the perks of working in higher education-a long break at the holidays. And I was a little nervous about having all that time off with my son-I know, yet another reason I won't be in the running for Mother of the Year. But Lucas was good-even with having a runny nose and a cough (a Hanukkah gift from one of his cousins). It wasn't that we did anything exciting it was just that we got to bond. We laughed together, he didn't have any tantrums and our trip to Buffalo was good. It was nice. The best was last night as the three of us, (well four if you count the cat) were playing in the living room and Lucas kept crawling to me and sitting in my lap. He hasn't really done that much. Then he would look back at me with those big eyes of his and smile. Last night as I put him to bed, he turned to me, put his nose practically on my nose and giggled as if to say, I can have fun with you too Mom." I am looking forward to starting the music program with him on Saturdays. It will be a nice distraction for us:)
