As I type, I can hear Daddy putting you to bed over the monitor. When you are settling down for the night you whisper. I know, hard to imagine considering your daytime voice, which I estimate to be about 130 dB. But at night it is all cuddles and whispers. Just now, you softly said, "Baby Jesus is going to look out for me." Sometimes you like to run through everyone in the world who loves you. Everyone from Paddy the dog to Aunt Teri to baby Micah loves you, and you aren't satisfied until we run through the entire list. Other times you ask us to tell you, "What else is fun?" And if you're thirsty you simply whisper, "Milk." It is one of my favorite times of day, bedtime, and one I'm going to miss when you're all grown up.
P.S. See the movie, Elf (2003) for the title quote!

Heather, this is such a sweet post. It captures the magic of sleepy time with your little boy so well. And yes, all of us moms whose babies are all grown up DO miss that special time and many other precious moments that will never be forgotten. Cherish these years, they will go by so quickly.
