There's a wonderful symmetry to parenting. Luke and I seem to balance one another when it comes to care, sympathy and patience. If one of us is overly tired or exasperated, the other is there to offer Quinn the attention and love that the other is temporarily unable to give:) Other times, Luke and I revel in being on the exact same page as we enjoy our son to his fullest. Last night was one of those merry nights where Quinn was SUPER energetic at bed-time and couldn't stop chattering about tennis, who would play it, when, where and what-not. His enthusiasm and relentless discussion of tennis was so endearing and fun that Luke and I hid behind our mutual smiles so that Quinn wouldn't think we were laughing at him. The bedroom was filled with the kind of priceless joy that comes from loving something so innocent and marvelously impulsive that you can't stopper it. Bedtime was a little pushed back because of his chatty fun, but it was worth it for some moments of shared mirth.
Quinn LOVES his Curious George movie. He laughs and laughs when George and the man in the yellow hat eat fire flies and their tongues turn green. He cries and moans when they take George away. His emotions are very real and when the two are reunited he is relieved and happy.
