the wiener mom's admirer

I have an admirer. Not so much a secret admirer, but an admirer all the same. He doesn't send me love letters or flowers. Some chocolate would be nice...I can tell by the way he looks at me, he's definitely interested. He flashes me these smiles that make my day. I don't even really need to do anything, just sit there and look at him, or walk into the room. He'd probably say something cheesy like, "the room lights up when you walk in." if he could talk.

He's on the short side and pleasingly plump. We don't actually have that much in common, except each other. I'm into knitting, he's into chewing on his own hand. I like listening to music, he makes spit bubbles. I love Italian food, while he's best described as a "lactarian". I like a guy with a sense of humor, he finds pat-a-cake wildly funny. I'm a writer/editor and as far as I can tell he works really hard at kicking the floor and swinging his arms around. I like his big blue eyes, but I have the sneaking suspicion that my eyes are not his favorite part of me. I'm pretty sure he's a breast man.

Before little wiener was born I was worried that there wasn't enough room in my heart for another wiener, that there was just no way that I could love him as much as I loved the other wieners. He was a stranger after all. As soon as he was born though, we fell in love. I couldn't imagine that I was ever worried. I called people from the hospital to declare my love for him. I had to tell everyone, "I am in love with this baby." and he's in love with me too.

I'm going to enjoy this infatuation while I can because as soon as he's mobile and figures out that there are more interesting things in the world than me, he'll be gone. We'll still love each other, but it won't be the same. He'll be busy. He won't have time to call. Someday there will be other girls. Someday I'll have to share my little wiener, but for now he's all mine. I'm going to take every smile and every drooly kiss he'll give me and store them up for later. These will be my love letters. The chocolate though, that would be nice.
