Leo's Valentine

Leo's all hands these days. Leo's always got a hand reaching out for me. Always.  Even back when he was just a wee lion cub he was all claws. And um.. .Head . But really we mostly focused on his hands. For obvious reasons. Talking with his hands at only a few hours old... At almost a year old.. And so on... Regardless of the day, time, or his or mine emotional state, awake or completely sound asleep, he's reaching out to take my hand. Seriously, his hands are always there... Because of his delayed communication skills he's perfected the language of hands. And I don't mean Sign Language either, which Leo has had down pat for years, this is Leo's personal Hand Speak Dictionary. His High Five is exemplary. He almost never misses. The Boss hand (grabbing my hand to make it do things for him like push buttons, pick up food, turn on the bath, or really anything he doesn't feel like doing himself). The Baby Hair hand
