singing hands

Levi likes books. Only in the past week has he decided they are worth sitting down for. So each night for the past few nights we have sat together in his glider and read books... piles of them.

And then, when he's getting really still and I know he's sleepy we sing songs. He loves songs with hand motions. We sing the itsy bitsy spider, twinkle twinkle, and the abcs in sign language. He tries to touch my hands while I finger spell the song. He loves it.

Then we look at pictures on my phone. Pictures of his daddy. Videos of his daddy. His daddy laughs in the videos and Levi laughs.


Tonight, we read books, sang with our hands and watched videos. Tears streamed down my face.

I miss his daddy.

OH, how I miss his daddy.
