Terms of Endearment

It was one of those lazy early mornings when Dad left for work early and the boys and I weren't awake enough to do anything other than snuggle on the couch together.  Max was his full milk belly happy self, smiling and cooing at me when Miles crawled into my lap next to him.  As he laid his head on my chest he said, "I love you so much."  After my melted heart recovered, I blinked back tears and said, "I love you too, Miles." He looked up at me with his big doe-like brown eyes, smiled and said, "I'm so smart."
