The boys and I hit the park this morning with my cousin Nicole. We spent a good amount of time collecting pussy willows near the lake. The boys used them as swords, as flags and as something pretty cool to just bang against stuff to watch them explode into white fluffy pieces. At one point Griffin noticed Nicole walking away from us as a group, dropped everything in his hands and ran towards her as fast as he could, tripping over his feet as he yelled, "'Cole! 'Cole!"
When Nicole didn't immediately turn towards him, he bellowed loudly, "'COLE!" until she finally turned towards him. She smiled down at his anxious face. Griffin lifted his arms, smiled at her and demanded, "UP!"
Nicole swung Griffin up onto her hip and he snuggled in close to her. They walked off together, Griffin's head resting on her shoulder.
I have to admit I had tears in my eyes watching a girl I knew and loved as a child, now loving up my child.
