Pfefferkuchen in the house! Joy!
Those are the Mommy and daughter stars by Ella.
And how poignant, given the stories we shared about the much loved woman who used to make them for me,
and the kind sister who passed on the recipe.

Touch is important for all human beings, all ages and stages need physical touch. It took me a while to understand for some brothers that it looks like the sort of wrestling that's hard to declare as play or hurt. This, these faces are brothers connecting through touch. And that is a gift of unpriced value.

This
morning, while having our morning snuggles, we noticed it was time for
an advent calendar chocolate. He got his calendar and after some talk
about which number we were on, and a little blowing of the chocolate
horn which was under number 16, he enjoyed his chocolate treat. I
realized this is the first year he's been able to eat just one beautiful
chocolate a day. Each year previous to this, he ate all 24 days worth
in one or maybe two sittings. This year, entirely of his own accord,
"you're supposed to eat only one a day until Christmas". Not that he
remembers every day. In a house where treats are enjoyed and not
restricted, he often forgets for a few days that there is even a
chocolate waiting for him...
