1. He held my hand under the table tonight at the dinner party we attended. It was a joint birthday dinner for Ian and I with my mother-in-law and a few of her friends. It was a lot of fun--great conversation and food. Makes me miss dinner parties with my friends.
2. He automatically takes all the heavy things out of my hands before we go up the stairs to our second floor apartment. (He also always takes out the trash.)
3. He makes me laugh even when I'm upset or worried. Really laugh, too. The kind of laughs that make my ribs ache.
4. He always tries to offer me the last of anything before finishing it. He always makes sure we don't run out of milk.
5. He can fall asleep at the drop of a hat and doesn't wake when a. I can't sleep and b. I use my smart phone to try to tire myself by writing a top five list. (Though, to be fair, we stayed up about four hours more than I'd hoped because we started talking. That can be 5 and 1/2: he's great to talk with and always plays devil's advocate or offers me unique perspectives on things.)
This isn't a top five of all time list. Just a top five of today list. All time would require more thought than I want to put into it this late at night.
