When the Son Rises...

Wesley overflows with smiles early in the morning.

The first person he sees after he wakes up is treated to a burst of giddiness and giggles. He squeals with delight and clenches his hands together and "bicycles" his legs like he just won the "Showcase Showdown" on The Price is Right.

Of course, we're pretty excited to see him in the morning, too.

Sixteen years from now Wesley won't have the same early-morning demeanor, and we'll look back on these priceless moments with nostalgia.

For now, though, his joy is contagious and his flurry of smiles jumpstarts the day better than a buzz-inducing double cappuccino.
