Memories

It was rainy all weekend in Maine, so we came back after only one night. But there are a couple of things I want to remember:

Sebastian crawled out of his bed pretty early and came up on our bed to sleep between us. I've been waking up every hour or two most nights lately, no matter where I sleep, and on the Maine bed in particular I have a lot of dreams; it's the bed I used to sleep on as a little boy, fastened next to my brother's identical bed to make one king-sized bed for me and Teri. My grandfather gave those beds to me and my brother when we were young, by the way.

Anyway, I woke up to what I first thought was loud sobbing. But I soon realized that it was laughing; Sebastian had a HUGE grin on his face and was laughing and giggling like crazy.

In his sleep.

Another memory, an older and sadder one: Sebastian, presenting his forehead to Sam. Sam would often smell and snuffle Sebastian with his damp nose, and Sebastian would laugh like crazy (it's a very ticklish feeling, if you've never experienced it). Sebastian started doing that when he was very young, probably not even one and a half years old.

Today he asked me when Sam was coming home.
