I’ve mentioned Cole before.

I know I have.

At least once.

Remember how he makes me melt and soar at the same time?

Well, his effect on me has gotten worse.

I am practically a goo-ball flying through the air at the speed of sound.

A mass of mooshed-up-smooshed-up goo.  with a beating heart. 

Don’t ask how it’s possible.

Ask how it happened.

go ahead.

ask.

well, since you asked, it all started when I walked in my Mom’s house to see this:

My veins started oozing. 

and my heart literally lept from my body.  It wasn’t as gory as you might think.

My innerds blew sparks when I saw those little feet not even touching and the ground. 

and my legs…well, they betrayed the rest of my melting body by moving me closer.

And then to see these:

sweet tiny five year old fingers.

on the ivory keys.

and then they started playing.

and that’s when it happened.  my heart, the very center of my being, my emotional core – it burst into a million bubbles dripping with pride and love and thankfulness and floated beside those sweet musical  notes as they hung in the air. 

It was the sweetest thing I’ve ever felt.

Sweeter than chocolate.  Sweeter than sugar.  Sweeter than honey.

They should try to bottle this up and give it to pregnant women for their glucose test.

It was really too sweet for my sweet tooth.  And I am owner of a champion sweet tooth.

It was like a million tiny kisses on my soul.

and I’m not talking about the chocolate kind.

I love you Cole-baby.  with all of my bubbly heart.
