Tears

Watching Alexander cry is so much more heartbreaking now that he has working tear ducts. Before when he would be screaming, it would be frustrating because I knew he was upset and I didn't speak baby well enough to figure out what he wanted. Now, when his little blue eyes start shining with tears my heart melts. And if I've had to leave him crying for a little while and he starts having tear tracks down his face and little puddles in the corners of his eyes, go fetch a mop because I'll have melted into a little puddle on the floor.
