isaiah doesn't give many kisses freely. you have to ask for them and even then it's hit and miss. depends on his mood. but tonight, i unexpectedly got one.
i had bath duty tonight. isaiah was wet and i 'wrapped him up like a burrito' (as we like to say with a mexican accent). i had a sudden burst of energy and started whipping him around my body. up and over, side to side. i was singing that song that dan zanes sings on playhouse disney:
'down in the valley two by two -- two by two -- two by two.
down in the valley two by two, and then you ride, sally ride'.
as i sang 'ride sally, ride' i would do the flipping. he thought it was hilarious. if i even thought about putting him down he would say, 'let's ride again mommy.' so i would start it up again.
as i was holding him in front of me in between rounds, wrapped up like a burrito, he unexpectedly froze, looked in my eyes and gave me a kiss. 'let's ride again mommy.'
i tried not to act surprised. i tried to act like it was no big deal. but my heart lept.
i guess i should throw him around more often.
