Only Child

Merry and David left town Saturday morning. They went with Grampy and MayMay for an over night in Maine. Turned out to be two overnights but we were unaware of this when they left.

Heidi and I were left with only one child, Thomas was no longer the baby, Thomas became the only child. At two years old next month, Thomas has not had a lot of time in his life where he was the center, this weekend he was the center of my world and I hope he enjoyed it as much as I did.

The best part of the time we spent together was in my chair watching baseball. Thomas loves balls, bats, running and throwing he cheers for every pitch and if the batter gets a hit stand back. We sat in my chair Saturday afternoon and watched the Red Sox game and I felt so close to the child nuzzled in my lap sipping his milk that I wanted to cry.

So I leaned down and kissed the top of his head again, for the umpteenth time, and watched Mike Lowell knock the Yankees second basemen on his ass and we cheered.

Hurray!
