I Liked the Way you Looked Today

I liked the way you looked today.

I liked how you went upstairs to dress yourself and then called down excitedly, “Are you ready to see my surprise fashion clothes??”

I liked when you impatiently tugged and nuzzled at my arm during lunch when I was trying to chat with a friend.  It’s hard to stay annoyed when you are giving me upper arm hickies.

I liked how hard you worked on the sight word flash cards.  I’ve never seen such fidgeting and short term memory in my life…but I know you were trying.

I liked how you ate all of your spaghetti squash and six lima beans.

I liked the “joke” that you made up and how you giggled your way through telling it to me.  “What do you call a strawberry with no straw?  A BERRY!”

I liked the way you looked today, Bailey.  And I hope I never forget it.
