Fuzz

What eyes you have! To see so much- to speak so little- but then reveal..... that you already know that dandelions are for blowing....... Are you only 13 months old?

Do you know that they are for wishing too? And if I look into those eyes- can I see all that you wish to be? That a lap is Always ready and waiting? That Mama doesn't need to do "just one more thing" before bending down to pick you up? That cold milk comes at the first beckon? That the grownups stop giving you sips of lemonade just to see you Squinch up that little face at the tartness? (oh how we giggle- I'm sorry Little Dot!)

Mommy has so many wishes for you- as you purse those lips and wetly blow into your first fuzzy dandelions. One hundred wishes. One thousand wishes.

I thought about making you a list.

But maybe they all come down to just something about... resilience and fortitude... and self assurance... and strength. Always believing that wishes can come True?

There. I wished it for you.
