all dogs go to heaven

 Good night my angel time to close you eyes

And save these questions for another day

 I think I know what you've been asking me 

I think you know what I've been trying to say

 I promised I would never leave you

And you should always know

 Where ever you may go

No matter where you are

I never will be far away

 Good night my angel now it's time to sleep

And still so many things I want to say

 Remember all the songs you sang for me

When we went sailing on an emerald bay

 And like a boat out on the ocean

I'm rocking you to sleep

 The water's dark and deep 

Inside this ancient heart

You'll always be a part of me

 Goodnight my angel now it's time to dream

And dream how wonderful your life will be

 Someday your child will cry and if you sing this lullaby

Then in your heart there will always be a part of me

 Someday we'll all be gone

 But lullabies go on and on

They never die that's how you and I will be 

Goodbye baby.

Mommy loves you and misses you so much.

Thank you for being a complete delight and blessing us for 6 1/2 wonderful years.

toddler tuesday: animal lover

I always joke that in 25 years, it's going to be Clark & Clark at BBAH.

I'm not 100% sure I'm far off base with this one. 

Liam loves animals.

He loves ALL animals.

We go on play dates, and my kid is the one off playing with the animals while all the other kids play together.

He's just so funny. At night, when we're getting ready for bed, I tell him to go say night-night to everyone and he goes and kisses Jethro and Lily (not usually Shiner, because she's usually bedded down in her cage) every. single. night. 

When we keep Spike for Zach's parents, the poor dog can't sit still for a split second, else Liam is trying to pull him into his lap. 

It is just... it's the funniest thing.

I'm certainly not going to force him down any certain path, but I wouldn't be shocked to see Zach putting a grey shawl on Liam at graduation one day.
