1st birthday party preps - Sneak peak!

As the DAY approaches, I am excited to put up all those handmade decorations for kuti "r". I know his eyes are going to light up as he sees them all :)
A sneak peak from next weekend!
As I make some thank you tags to go with the favors inside the favor bags, I am using this as a reason to add another post on to my blog!

First Appearance!

It was another day

It was a part of the routine

It was the usual activity

Just that it didnt feel the same

Familiar delicacy

Familiar fingers 

And tender lips that parted

For the familiar activity

Just that it didnt feel the same

The tenderness only a little hard

The drooling only a little less

The color,  it should be

The sharpness, it's got to be

The FIRST TOOTH had appeared :)

P.S = Cheers to Mother Nature! 

I enjoyed waiting and watching for the teeth to appear...

KISSES!

I remember my DAD’s kiss

at the airport

When it was time for me to fly

I remember my HERO’s kiss

on a beautiful night

When it was time for a new life

I remember my BROTHER’s kiss

an evening in the midst of shipment packed

Privileged to have known his affection hive

I remember my PUPPY’s kiss

a cold and weary night

to all times shared

as he rose among the clouds and stars in the sky

and there is NOW - a time I want to buy

an attempt to remember

a wish to hold it long

a memory to play it back on and on

I wish I could freeze and put a hold on time

Oh Darling SON!

your kisses have given life a whole new rhyme :)
