And then, for why I don’t sell them…

Just as I was posting the rant below, I felt a little tug on my leg. I looked down and Bacon Bit was grinning up at me. When he saw he had my attention, he declared loudly: “Muhm-muhm!” and held up his chubby little arms. So I lifted him up to play with him.

He shrieked and laughed, giggled and reached out to grab my nose. “Muhm-muhm! Muhm-muhm!” he chortled.

Then he threw himself forward, wrapped his arms around my neck and gave me a great big drooly baby kiss. Then he pulled back and grinned at me again, ever so very pleased with himself, ever so in love with his muhm-muhm.

While I was ‘working’, Eldest painted butterflies for me, and Danger Mouse has written her name almost right TWICE and Boo Bug drew…well, it looks like a potato with eyes but I’m told it’s me, dancing to the Quack Quack Waddle Waddle song. So naturally...we had to go find the Quack Quack Waddle Waddle song for dancing purposes. It’s probably good for sore muscles. Maybe. But I’m totally sure that lightening up is good for them.

Lord, how I will miss these days, someday…

Quack quack waddle waddle all day loooooong, quack quack waddle waddle sing a duck song…

Oh, shut up! You will miss certain things about these days, but then you'll have grown up companions that will never cease to make you glad and proud. Trust me!

The thing I miss most is that baby giggle that they grow out of somewhere along the line. It's a squealy pealing that cannot be replicated with too large a voice box. I can only replay it in my mind and swoon.
