Nighttime Magic

Even though our baby girl is nearly a YEAR AND A HALF old...Geez Louise!...I sometimes still cannot believe she is HERE with us.  Not only with us, but fully IN our little world...doing things...moving things...playing with things...talking with us...making herself at home in our little nest.  Of course, her toys and belongings have overtaken our home :)  That's to be expected.  But there is a little magic that happens in our house ever so often after Carson's asleep and all has been cleaned up, straightened up and put away for the night...I find something that was left behind.  A straggler on the toy front lines...and all of a sudden as I'm going about the winding down process of the night, I'll see the straggler and think, "Yep, she is definitely here and I can't imagine it being any other way."   Magic.

Tonight, the magic happened and as I was turning out lights and grabbing stray laundry, I glanced over and saw this little truck on Carson's bed.  Just sitting there as if to say, "I'll be waiting right here for you in the morning!"  And it will be.  I left the truck right where Carson left it.  Must have been a special spot :)

The magic of daily life with our Carson...ahhhhh...I'm in love with the magic.
