the sidlingers

Tonight David is rebuilding one of our computers and was getting old files off before wiping it. He found all kinds of old pictures of Daniel, I mean it was only 3 years ago, but they change so much when their little, that it seems like much longer. He also found most of the music that I thought we had lost. So Daniel and I were snuggled up in bed looking at old pictures of him and sharing the earbuds listening to music. We listened to and sang along to Pooh Corner (Cat Stevens), Winken, Blinken and Nod (The Mama’s and the Papa’s), Puff the Magic Dragon (Peter, Paul and Mary (I’m not sure anyone else sang that one)) and he finally fell asleep while we were listening to Baby Mine (Bette Midler), the song I used to sing to him when he was a baby. It was such a sweet few moments, almost like he could sense that I missed his sweet little baby head smell and mushiness (oh and he was so mushy). He’s not a baby anymore and I miss that, but he’s a little kid and there are new things to love, like his weird little sense of humor and his wonderful imagination and his uncontrollable urge to get naked and dance around the living room.

Thank you for rebuilding the computer David.
