I Love You

Your curly soft black hair.  Your big ears.  Your big beautiful lips.  Your tiny fingernails that only stay still during brief moments of sleep.  Your big brown wandering eyes.  Your squeaks of discomfort or wonder or amazement.  Even when those squeaks turn into screams.  Your soft soft skin. 

The way you smile as you adjust yourself during a nap.  The way when you're done eating that you always pull away with a little drop of milk on your chin, lie back & close your eyes in satisfaction.  The way your eyebrows raise just like your daddy's.  The way you squeeze your fists close to your head while sleeping.  The way you throw them in the air if you are awakened.   The way you violently fight your gas.  The way you desperately need something to suck on when you're fighting. 

The way you immediately calm when you’re in your father’s arms. 

The way just lying their sleeping can distract me from everything.  I am fascinated by your existence.

I love you Isaiah.
