His sweet voice...

Today I will remember the sweetness of his childhood voice. The air in his speech, the careful pronunciation of a new word. The excitement he has for his new accomplishments, his eagerness to learn and to participate. The way that he points to every picture and so sweetly and so softly states "baby" regardless of whether or not there is an actual baby in the picture. The raspy sound of his innocence in the morning and the way that it renews me when I reach into the crib each day.
