A little bit of one on one time with each of my kids is absolutely necessary for my sanity. It’s also necessary for noticing and remembering and appreciating.
My husband took the older 2 to his mom’s house for a sleepover last night, and I got to spend roughly 24 hours with just the very soon to be 2 year old. There was a lot of book reading, snack sharing, cheek kissing, and silliness. One of my favorite moments was walking around the corner into the kitchen to see him holding a jar of pasta sauce like it was a precious baby. I watched for a second. “Oh sauce! I love sauce!” He almost sang, as he rocked it back and forth. I SO appreciate him. He’s just joyful and hilarious and a sun shiny spot in my life. I did quickly help him put his beloved sauce back on the shelf of the pantry before the glass jar got dropped or broken.

Your slice helps me to picture this young aficionado, his love of sauce and your love of him.

Should’ve let him just go to town with the sauce.
