To Those in the Know, away from Joe

[suave_thomas]

Dear God my children are the most amazing people on his planet.

James came up to me today and he told me there was something he wanted me to see. He took my hand and he took me outside to our backyard and when I asked him what he wanted me to look at, he pointed at our garden. I said yes, it was growing nicely. And he said, "no, Daddy. You taught me how to give life. And look, it's right in front of you."

And then I think I may have squeezed the life out of him, but what an amazing boy. Being a father is the best thing in the entire world.

And then I visited Spectre in the shower, which has nothing to do with the rest of this, but he has nice hips.

My hips thank you for the compliment!

Oh Thomas, we do have the most amazing little boy. I love that he's so thrilled to have given life. Such simple beauty.

[suave-thomas.livejournal.com]

Mmmm, I thank everything for those hips.

He is! He's amazing. Such a treasure. And he was being so careful with the plants because he didn't want to hurt them and I just love him so much. I should have known he could get me out of this trench of grief I dug for myself.

[in-spectre-mors.livejournal.com]

With that knowledge, so do I!

That's just so gorgeous! You two are going to make the most amazing garden out there. Watching it grow is truly inspiring. I love that you take such joy in your children too, Thomas. That they can lift your spirits in times of trouble makes me overwhelmingly happy.

Did you ever doubt I thanked everything for every single bit of you? Because if you did, I'm not doing my job correctly.

I have a feeling he knew exactly what he was doing. He just...looked like he did. He's so brilliant...

[in-spectre-mors.livejournal.com]

As if you would ever let me doubt it, my love. I'm sure of your love as I am sure of very few other things.

I have that feeling too, Thomas. James connects to everything around him in a way that is simply striking.

That Peter will squeal at dirt, and Deirdre will get around in the nip, and I love you?

I love it. Though I do worry he's already smarter than me and when he's a teenager he'll mock us with his mental prowess.

[in-spectre-mors.livejournal.com]

Yes, that does sound like my holy trinity right there!

Haha, he could well do! Though I find it hard to imagine James using his prowess to mock anyone, bless him.

[suave-thomas.livejournal.com]

Mine too.

So do I. What a kid, Spectre. We're so damned lucky.

[in-spectre-mors.livejournal.com]

Indeed we are, Thomas. I wake every day to remember how blessed we are.

[demon-svetlana.livejournal.com]

Awwww, that's gorgeous! I could snuggle him forever :D

[suave-thomas.livejournal.com]

So could I! We could snuggle him together!

[demon-svetlana.livejournal.com]

Oooh, good plan!

[suave-thomas.livejournal.com]

And Rasputina could snuggle and it'd be a snugglefest all up in here!

[demon-svetlana.livejournal.com]

I love snugglefests! :D

[suave-thomas.livejournal.com]

Me too!

[seminalsemiotic.livejournal.com]

That is quite possibly the sweetest thing I've ever heard!

[suave-thomas.livejournal.com]

He does tend to rack up the sweet moments like no one else I know!

[seminalsemiotic.livejournal.com]

Well, he is a young Littleton, after all *grins*

[suave-thomas.livejournal.com]

Ah, you're a charmer, aren't you!

[seminalsemiotic.livejournal.com]

I like to think so!

[suave-thomas.livejournal.com]

Ah, well I know so.

[seminalsemiotic.livejournal.com]

Awww, you totally win!

[slinkster-ghoul.livejournal.com]

Well today Marie threw up in my hair. Babysick refuses to be cute. Although afterward she did give me a truly diabolical look like she knew exactly what she did.

Evil little minx.

[suave-thomas.livejournal.com]

Haha! I don't meant to laugh at your misfortune, but I do so love our girl. Diabolical looks and all.

That is so something I would do.

SHE TAKES AFTER ME!

[slinkster-ghoul.livejournal.com]

*snort* You are teaching her evil vomit habits! That is NOT ON!

[suave-thomas.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry! We should let Peter teach her amazing cleaning up habits... But then he might transfer his weirdo phobias.

[father-peter.livejournal.com]

Hey!

[suave-thomas.livejournal.com]

It's true, Babe.

[father-peter.livejournal.com]

I know. But mean!

[slinkster-ghoul.livejournal.com]

Yeah, and being afraid of clowns is just so cliche.

[suave-thomas.livejournal.com]

Haha! That's Peter. So cliche. The man has saved the world, but is terrified of Bozo.
