In The Middle of the Night

So Bear likes Calvin and Hobbes. I am not sure he understands all the concepts, but he digs the tiger.
I gave CD a Calvin and Hobbes book last Christmas, and Bear will bring it to me and ask we read some of it together.
He loves the "unique" snowmen.
His favorite is the one where the one snowman is made to look like he's just bowled a strike with the other snowman's head. He giggles so hard at the one that he starts to snort.
Or the one where one snowman is eating snowcones and the snowman is lying face down with an ice cream scoop in his back.
I was checking on Bear just a minute ago, tucking his comforter around him. He's wearing his Spiderman jammies and then over it, one of CD's t-shirts (magical Daddy shirts made good sleepers). I stroked his still-a-little-chubby cheek and kissed his head.
He blinked up at me.
"Did it snow tonight?"
"No, sweetie. I think the clouds passed over," I whispered back. "No more snow this year."
"Poor Calvin," he mumbled. "No more snowmen." And he gave me a ghost of a grin before burrowing back to sleep.
God, thank you for my miracle Bear.
