Xander Week 92 - Happy Kid
September 29, 2008
Smiley Xander
Last week I had a flash back to a blog post I did over a year ago about the first time Xander showed any excitement at seeing me when I pick him up from day care. I was thinking about this post specifically because these days picking up Xander is one of the highlights of my day. As soon as he sees me he runs at me. This usually prompts a reminder from one of the staff members that he needs to walk, not run. So then he walks as quickly as his little feet will carry him to me, with his arms wide open of course. I pick him up and he wraps his little arms around my neck and squeezes as tightly as he can and I give him a little squeeze back. It’s a great way to end my day, with someone so happy to see me. The picture I chose this week was taken at my parent’s house a few weeks ago, but it’s an excellent representation of the little boy I see every day after work. Before you have kids it’s easy to wonder why anyone would want to go through all of the effort, and I can tell you moments like these remind you why.
He really is cute! and gives great hugs!!
We had such a great time seeing you and Xander over the weekend, he is such a sweet little boy Sara! And just beyond adorable. And you do such a great job with him. And you looked fantastic! Can’t wait to live closer so we can see you all more often!
