My Bubs is such a guy! Yesterday we were hanging out on the couch when all of a sudden he turns to me....
"Mom?"
"What, Bubs?"
"I'm gonna toot in a minute." (Toot is our term for passing gas.)
A slight pause.
"Oookaay. Does that mean you have to go to the bathroom?"
"Nope. It means you're gonna laugh in a minute!"
And, boy, did we! Shouts of laughter from me and little boy, mischievious giggles from the Bubs filled the air. Oh! He is such a boy up one side and down the other and I love it. Maybe it's because I was a tomboy when I was little. I don't know, but I delight in every second of his earthy sense of humor, his energetic ways and his up-front manner.

It's the little moments like those that I will look back on and remember with love and, yes, laughter when he his grown and living his own life. Life's everyday occasions turned into life's perfect treasures.
Peace,

Love the new signature by the way.
Also, planning to give you a call this week to check in on you. My phones are messed up...long story..and I had to retrieve your number from my mom because I lost it.
Just want to check on you and see how you are hanging in there.
Tell your mom I'm praying for her. I am for you too. We love you!
Don't ya just love the honesty of boys and their toots? And the fact that they never grow out of it never ceases to amaze me! :)
