hes heard me sing you are my sunshine thousands of times he likes yellow he likes motion no new sound or sight goes by without curiosity and wonder his head is on a swivel to catch everything that is happening around him with a new sound, he turns left then right then over my shoulder, and around my head Im often the last thing he notices he puts his arm around my neck when I hold him up there hell prop his head against mine when hes too tired to hold it up himself he caves and folds with exhaustion, asleep by the time he hits my chest, then he is awake again at impact, back at attention determined not to miss a thing he likes to clap I walk with him attached like a tandem parachuter harnessed to my belly he floats with all four limbs freed up and open as he faces the world coming at him he flails his arms and legs with excitement he shows a desire for independence and freedom exhausted, he will surrender, trust and rest knowing Im here he is fascinated by his hands hell reach for something and before he grabs it will be distracted by his own fingers hell look at them cross-eyed with wonder from all sides as he brings them slowly back, five independently moving fingers standing upright on top of his wrist i laugh at that every time
