Happiness is...

...hearing Ben say, "Sam, I'm going to miss you while I'm at school!" after signing him up for kindergarten.

Happiness is...

... Ben pulling up my shirt before bed, hugging my belly and saying, "Goodnight, Sam!"

Happiness is...

...saying, "I love you, Ben," and hearing, "I love you, Mommy. I love you, I love you, I love you."

Happiness is...

...Ben telling me, "I love you, Mommy," for the first time today.

Happiness is...

Taking your son to the zoo and watching him laugh at the penguins with pure, unadulterated joy.
