Grateful Little Jacob

Around 2 am, I hear the familiar little footsteps across the house, a sleepy sort of half walk, half slide shuffle. I see the tuft of blond hair and hear the blankets rustle as Jacob climbs onto the foot of the bed and makes his ascent towards the pillows.

Absently, I pull aside the covers on Adam's side of the bed and scoot a little bit to make room for Jacob. He crawls up, pulls the blankets up to his chin, and puts his arm across my neck. He sighs contentedly:

"I love you, Mommy."

"I love you too, sweetie..." I mumble sleepily.

Jacob: "And mom?"

Me: "Yes?..."

Jacob: "I'm so glad that I have you!"
