Which tarot card are you?

I love lying in bed listening to Widget talk to herself, or to her stuffed animals in the mornings. Most days, unless she wakes up very hungry, she's content to be by herself in there for a long time (this morning it was over an hour). Just talking, sometimes yelling, cruising around in her crib. And so I can kind of lie around in bed, waking up slowly. Sometimes she gets cranky just a bit before I want to get up, but she usually doesn't start really hollering until she hears me moving around getting dressed before I go pick her up. And then when I do go into her room, she's just pleased as punch to see me. She stands, holding onto the crib rails, and smiles and bounces and lifts her hands up to me, asking me to pick her up.

For example

Today, I said to Wiley, "I think I'd like to make chicken tetrazzini with the leftovers from the other night for dinner. Sound good?" And he says back "Yeah! Sounds great!" So I call my mom to try and get the recipe, and leave a message, asking her to call me back.

Later in the day, Wiley asks if I talked to my mom, and I tell him I had, and gotten the recipe. And he says "Great, 'cause I'm looking forward to tetrazzini." Something in the way he says this makes me think that he actually doesn't *know* what it is I'm planning for dinner, so I ask him. And he answers "Ummm, chicken, tetras and zini's?"

That's what I mean about loving his enthusiasm. Even for the small things, he just assumes it'll be great. It makes me smile.
