I think the very best part of being a stay at home mom is that Will and Ellie are together all day.  When Ellie goes down for her nap, Will is like a lost puppy, constantly asking when she will wake up.  (And often helping the process along.) 

Today I was putting on my makeup in the bathroom and they were playing with a costco package of paper towel rolls in the bedroom (Will has always ADORED Costco packages of toilet paper, paper towels, or tuna fish and will make endless amounts of games out of them).  It was cuteness every three seconds with Will constantly saying things like

“Do you want to play Fight the Dinosaur with me, El-wheeze?”

“oh THANK you, El-wheeze.  You’re such a sweet baby to give that to me!”

“Do you want to do team work now, El-wheeze?  Teamwork is when you work together.”

all in the nicest sing-song-iest voice. 

As we drove to dinner last night we heard Ellie hysterically laughing, but no other sounds.  Turning to look, Will was simply making funny faces for her, over and over and over again. 

And when we see that sweetness, hear that love, it’s hard not to feel like we are in the very best moments of our lives and it’s bittersweet to know that they will be bigger before we even know it.
