Happiness is

...Ashton holding his binky out to me as soon as I walk in the room. As he knows that's the price to get out of the crib.
...when he plays cars at my feet in the kitchen while I make dinner.
...how he says "Daddin" instead of Daddy.
...when my phone rings in the afternoon and he says "Daddin" knowing it's probably David calling us to tell us he's on his way home.
...meeting David halfway while he's walking home from school. And when we sometimes bring fruitsnacks for a treat and he holds them so tight knowing that he can't eat them till David opens them for him.
...how he gets "no no" and "nose" confused. Sometimes he'll touch his nose when you say "no no".
...when he tries to put on his own socks over his footed PJs.
...the night we let him stay up late because he was so happy only to find that he disappeared into his room and came out with his binky and blankey to tell us he was ready for bed.
...when he does the itsy bitsy spider with his little fingers.
...the way he often lays his head on my big pregnant belly.
...him wanting to go sleep with his ball.
...when please comes out "ssssss".
...when he blows kisses.

Happiness is being parents! As time gets closer David & I keep talking about how we're really not sure we're ready to do this again. And usually while we're in the middle of that conversation Ashton comes up and does something that completely melts us or makes us laugh and we know immediately that we're blessed to be able to do it again!
