Smile!
That's lesson number one, and oh, boy! is it so easy to do with little Wesley! He turned four weeks old today, and he is beginning to smile that adorable little baby smile whenever I talk to him. I love how he will grin open-mouthed, then revert to a wide-eyed "what-just-happened?" look. Babies have such an amazing ability to make even the most blah of days sunny. It reminds me of the lyric in "You Are My Sunshine": "You make me happy when skies are gray." Wesley does that for me, and boy, oh boy! can we talk about some gray skies? In the literal sense, these last two months (Feb. and Mar.) have sucked! Wind, rain, cold, and gray. March hasn't been that bad since my little fella's arrival, but we could all do with some warm spring sunshine.
In the meantime, I'll continue to get my smiles from Wesley. I should follow his lead and find the simple joy in the sound of a familiar voice; after all, isn't sunshine the essence of our hearts where our loved ones are concerned?
