Nostalgia

Let me state clearly right up front: I do not want another kid. I have no desire to return to diapers and sleepless nights, and the one kid I have, though easy by practically any measure, is still plenty challenging for me. That's not to say that I don't remember with extreme fondness moments like this one:

The Beaner throwing his trash away at Capogiro in May 2006

There are so many ways in which he's more interesting now (and in my humble opinion, just as cute) without being much more trouble than he was then, but sometimes I do miss those chubby cheeks and that wispy hair...and those cute little New Balance sneakers, especially poised on tippy-toes.
