someday
i will wish i had this little boy to hug me
to run around and yell
to say 'no' to his brother
to wear socks and assorted clothing as costumes
to pick up the baby and drag him around
to build elaborate lego models that require much explanation
i will miss his round cheeks and scrawny arms and legs
he will sit for a while
he will stop using his knee as a chin rest when he reads
he won't climb on the counters to get the hidden treats
he will vanish like this baby did
but he will still be the same
