Today Ava Waited Up

I knew when I heard the fake snores coming from the living room that you were still awake. 

"I have two iPads."

Mom did her best to keep you awake when I told her I might be getting out of work "early" tonight. A few things popped up but I was out the door by 9:45 p.m. this evening. 

As I set my stuff down and walked in to the living room I saw you and mom laying on the couch, your head buried in her chest with your eyes squeezed shut withd a sly grin on your face. 

I sarcastically played into it. "Aw, I really thought I'd be home in time to see Ava awake tonight. I guess I'll just put her in her crib ..." 

The grin became a huge smile and you popped up so fast and jumped off of mom and the couch to give me a big hug. 

Moments like this make life. 

In conclusion "snake poop." <----- That'll jog the memories a few years down the line.
