Recognizing faces

Baby Ali used to stare blankly at our faces but I notice that he recognizes my wife and I now. I say this because every morning before leaving home, he would look at my wife and I as we went about getting prepared for the day. And as we are about to go out the door(while granma holds him), he’ll have this look. You know, the kind that seem to say, “ Ma, Pa.. do you really have to go?”. And that’s when I start to render my version of the song, “ Kisses for me, save all your kisses for me.. Bye bye baby bye bye.. don’t cry honey don’t cry…”. Call me old fashioned. Then at the end of the day when we come back, he’s all smiles.
