I challenge any adult to hold this pose...while half of your body is under the couch

Ah, Eli. Ah, Gus.
This is going to sound like a sound byte, but I really mean it when I say that being your Mama is the best thing I've ever done (well, right after marrying your Papa...I've just been lucky!).
I was reminded last night and again this morning of how amazing it is to be with both of you. Last night, I brought Eli into Gus' room to get into PJs and for book reading. Eli was on his back, kicking up a storm, when Gus decided to join him. So here they were, kicking away, when Gus suddenly asks, "You want to kick with us?"
How does one say no to such a sweet request?
There we were, the three of us, flopping our legs up in the air, laughing hysterically, and all I could think of was how incredibly lucky I felt to be in the moment.
The good feelings continued this morning. At daycare, Gus came up to me before I left and planted a big kiss on each cheek. As I walked out, the cool air washed over my face, chilling the wet kiss marks on my cheek. It was the best instant reminder that I had been touched with sweetness.
As you can see from the picture, Eli is into yoga. Tonight I saw my first official 'rock' from Eli while up on his hands and knees (he put himself into that position).
Me <------ freaking out.
