Aw Geez I Love Ya
I love your toes, your crooked toes
And your nose that runs away
I love you fingers, your Father's fingers
Pre-Shrunk for extra cuteness
I love your mouth, your dribbling, sucking
Smiling, screeming, question-mark mouth
I love your eyes, those curious eyes
That see the world for the first time (or do they?)
I love your eyes, your sleepy eyes
That open and close and close and rest in crescent moons
I love your tongue, lying like a lizard
Absorbing the world through your buds
I love your chin, your double chin
Where dirt and snails and puppy dog's tails get lost in
I love your sounds, your squeeks and sucking sounds.
I love your rashes and scratches and secretions
I even love your cradle cap, proof of your growth
Like a snake shedding its in utero skin.
Aw Geez I love ya Son
My pure sweet One
I love you
Because I do.

I had to brave the spelling, but I made it in the end.
So wonderful to see you and Dan, and you know beautiful who... I'm feel most em-bravened by you (not a word, but I'm starting a trend) and Dan's journey as parents.
So wonderful. So hard.
I'm beyond flattered at the shout out in the title. You rock.
