Are You My Mother?

I have been in the process of uploading all of our pictures and videos to Dropbox to free up some space on our computer.  We have over 11,000 of them so it was time.  It has been a process but it has also given me the opportunity to walk down memory lane with each upload. 

I came across one video in particular that really brought back wonderful memories of quiet days with baby Nolan.  Nolan's favorite book was "Are You My Mother?" and we would read it ALL the time together.  I have many memories of lying on the family room floor, side by side, looking up at the book as I read and he intently listened.  Only to repeat the story as many times as he asked me to.  

The video is a long, 5+ minute video, but if you watch from about 3:45 minutes in through the end of it you will see a cute, chubby Nolan crawl into my lap ready to read his favorite book.  I love the way he looks up at me with his big, blue eyes and is so content to cuddle and read.  Hands down, this movie encapsulates the special quality time that Nolan and I used to share when it was just the two of us; and it's my absolute favorite video of him.

When I shared this video with Nolan, he immediately went into the cabinet, found his copy of "Are You My Mother?" and asked me to read it to him.  I love that he still likes to read with me!  He has lovingly moved the book up to his room and keeps it safe in his nightstand.
