Simple Pleasures

Often times when I go into my bedroom to take a shower and get dressed there is a little man that follows me.

He is ever so quiet, never making a single sound, until SLAM!
The door goes closed, ensuring him the ability to enjoy this all by himself.

He then smiles his shy sheepish grin and climbs onto the big bed.

His grin begins to widen into a full on smile and giggles begin to flow forth from his mouth.

He begins to jump and hop around pulling the pillows out and into....



The perfect pile for jumping.


He will jump and jump and reform the pile for as long as it takes me to shower and get dressed.

Smiles and Giggles resound through the room.

I can't help but smile and laugh too.

For I know that he is enjoying his own personal happiness, all by himself away from the grabbing hands of his two same aged siblings.

And that makes us both happy.

He is so cute : ) A little personal space is good for everyone, isn't it :). Kaish likes to jump on our bed too. He told me last night he had to sleep with us because we had the puffiest bed in the house : ).

Sometimes the simplest things bring the most pleasure! Great photos!

Liz Mays said...

I just don't think he could enjoy that any more than he is!

Gretchen said...

THat is so sweet! I love the little things that make each one of our children unique. And the special things that they can remember "I did that" instead of "WE did that".

Kids are fun together but also fun all by themselves!

Michelle said...

How cute! You are a good mommy letting him have his moment of peace. I would probably be the jerk yelling at my kid to stop jumping on the bed.

Swift Jan said...
