The BEST WELL-SPENT money EVER couponing = several 8-pack packages of paper towels for $2.25. Today, they've provided lots and lots of comical playtime for Mommy & Cole. They've been made into towers and beds, been beaten to death by ball bats, and smashed to smithereens by Cole (& Mommy - apologies for the disturbing mental picture) running, jumping and diving on them. Poor things...they'll never stand upright in their packages again. But hey, they're still usable and definitely considered a multi-purpose towel now in my book.
While waiting for some "action to happen" during a break to take Cole to the potty, I was reading to him. A favorite book of mine (thanks to a dear friend, Shana Smith). But today, I could hardly get through it. My animated voices did aid in stifling tears. Some.
"I fell in love with you the day you were born.
You made my heart smile.
You'll always be a part of me, and I'll be a part of you.
So who do I love the best?
That's easy.
I love all my cubs.
But there's no one like you, my special firstborn."
- Dr. Kevin Leman
And you, dear Cole, are one SPECIAL firstborn.
