Josh was just the absolute easiest bestest sweetest dream come true kid in the world today. And when he wasn't being only that (as if it isn't enough) he was being too freaking adorable. We spent the day with Boops' kids (who are Matt's and Evan's age) and I kept waiting to hear them call out for Josh's removal. They didn't have a single issue with him all day.
Then when we sat down to dinner (chinese takeout) Josh asked for a stallion pancake. I just love when kids do that. Then, a few bites later, Josh turned to me and used TV speak when he said "Mom, do you want to know what you get for me? Well, coming this summer from the award winning folks who brought you Lego Star Wars...." As horrifying (exactly how much tv does he see?) and annoying (talk like a kid kid!) as the TV speak is, I just want to wrap him in a tortilla (gluten free) and start munching every time he does it.
Maybe it is just him. I dunno.
Then tonight I needed to do some portraits if the boys. But I wanted to do it individually. First I grabbed Evan, then I called Matt up and then I called Josh, except Josh thought I was calling him for his bath so he shows up in my studio 2 minutes later in his birthday suit. And being as comfortable as a 6 year old can be in his birthday suit he plops right down on the stool and can't wipe the big grin off his face. But here is the one thing, I (for some reason) want to take a serious portrait and Josh can not stop laughing and giggling.
So, he's trying as hard as he can to hold the happiness in but he can't. And it is all so sweet and so naked and so this very moment and it won't last forever that my heart feels like it will just explode all over the room with all the love and happiness. And finally Josh manages to hold a serious face for a few seconds and I am in shock because WHERE DID MY BABY GO?
And who put this similar looking grown up-ish guy in his place? But it was only for a frame or two because before I knew it the giggles broke through and my baby was back and I am so incredibly grateful that I got that little bit of today on .. well I was going to say film but I guess I technically I got it on .... memory card and now through this modern miracle of 21st century technology I can put it here for you to see too.
