As Stacy sat on the bed about to feed Grayson his nighttime bottle, I leaned over to kiss him goodnight. He smelled like sun.
Obviously sun doesn't have a smell, but that is the best way I can describe the cocktail of perfumes he was wearing tonight. Sunscreen came together with lake water and dog slobber. That came together with pine sap and baby food. It was a form of alchemy, really, turning everyday elements into the scent of golden sunshine.
Today was a great day. Grayson took his first boat ride and first swim in the lake. The weather was perfect. Delilah ran up and down the beach.
I'm so grateful for moments like these.
