Sometimes, I look at Bryce when he has no idea I'm looking at him and when he's in a good mood, which is somewhat rare, but sometimes... I hold my breath for a moment and think about how truly lovely Bryce has made our life. Sometimes, I can't believe that he's our son and I wonder if he'll ever know how much he's loved. Sometimes, I feel guilty that I'm not doing enough to enrich his life with powerful early childhood experiences. Sometimes, I find so much joy in his laughter, giggles and smile. I wish it was all the time. But, life happens and I completely forget to stop and just feel amazing.
This is my stop sign today.
Bryce is an awesome little boy. And even though we are still punch drunk with exhaustion, we wouldn't trade one sleepless night, booger nose, ear infection or tantrum.
He's a cool dude and I'm just glad to have the opportunity to be his Momma.
I love this post. Sometimes we all need to look at what's important in life. I know I have been distracted the last few days by things out of my control or by the stupid things people do and say. Thanks for reminding me to stop and breath and just be thankful.
