There is something so powerful that happens for me as a mother to watch my little man sleep.
The precious breathing, beautiful face, calm presence and perfection lying before my eyes. His sweet little body snuggled so tightly to his blanket while his mommy rubs the small of his back. Longing to capture that moment as if my eyes could take pictures. Pictures that only a moment can describe. A picture truly is worth a thousand words, yet that same picture holds no depth that that current moment so intently held.
“Look Mommy a Kitty”
I can’t capture the deep love I have for my son in words. I must honestly and humbly say, I think only a mother truly understands. The deep protection, longing and heartache that follows a mother is only the beginning of what raising a child is all about. The precious moments, the moments you take for granted, the frustration of discipline, the joys of laughter, the snuggle time, the cute little language developing, the precious kisses and hugs, the beauty of reading and holding your child is just a small portion of all the emotions that encapsulate being a mother.

Sometimes when the craziness of life sets in, I begin to regret the moments I didn’t soak in as I know he is growing up and will only be my little man for so long. One day I wont be able to kiss him anytime and all the time, I wont be able to hug and snuggle him, pick him up and hold him tightly. These are moments that will pass and before they do, my goal is to try and hug and kiss him beyond measure that I get so sick of it (this will be impossible and that’s exactly my point). Not letting wasted time pass, but enjoying the present and not wishing it away!

I love you more than life Cooper John and can’t believe you are almost two in 3 months!
Moment of Truth: Relish in the present even when life becomes chaotic and you wish all your kids could take a nap at the exact time so you could clean the house or feed your tummy. Delight in your children, they are blessings!
