9. Making my mother laugh.
10. The smell of fresh coffee.

I bought Crash a new toy at the dollar store today. Zoe and Piper won't play with toys but Crash LOVES them!
This one is a bizarre purple monkey with extremely long arms. There is a squeaker in the head, the belly, at the end of one arm and the end of one leg.
He danced with anticipation as I cut the tags off of it and then squeaked it a couple of times just to titillate him a little.
He grabbed it and ran into the bedroom and jumped on the bed with it. It's longer than he is so he stumbled on it a little but he has refused to be separated from it for most of the night. This adoration will last for about 2 days and then it will become just one of his many toys that will end up in his bone-shaped toy chest that he occassionally knocks over and picks from the toys that spill forth.
One day, he will choose it again and relive those early days of joy this toy brought him.
