The Present and Dimples had a busy day that involved lots of getting dirty. After dinner, I took them both up to take a bath. Dimples has not been the biggest fan of bath time lately so I put her in, washed her up, got her out and dried her off. While I was putting her into her
jammies, The Present got into the tub. He LOVES bath time and can, and will, stay in until I evict him by draining the tub.
Tonight I was tired, so I let The Present just play in the tub after he was clean. Dimples was running around in her
jammies and I was sitting on the floor, clipping my nails, only half paying attention.
Next thing I know, both Dimples and The Present are CRACKING up. I will never forget it. When your children make each other belly laugh....well there is no feeling that explains it. I just watched them, Dimples would throw her b
inky in the tub and The Present would toss it out on the floor. Repeat. Laugh lots and lots.
This went on for about 3 minutes, I kept thinking I needed to run down and get the video camera, but I didn't want the moment to end. I guess I am left with the memory, in hopes that it will last in my mind for years to come.
As I sat there, I wondered.
Did Miss Smarty Pants and I have moments like these when we were young?
Did my mom sit and smile at us with tears in her eyes like I did tonight?
Will there be lots of these silly moments in our future?
I hope so.
Who does this remind you of?
Asleep, waiting for Mom...

The Red Vine before it was consumed....
