**sigh** wow another week has started....Why does time fly by so fast? Wouldn't it be nice if we could hold on to certain moments longer than the blink of an eye that they last?? Like the moment your child tells you " I love you momma!" Or how about that moment when the little ones finally go to sleep and the house sighs a sigh of peace? My favorite moment I wish I could hold onto is the moment your child falls asleep in your arms. When they take that breath that takes them from wakefulness to sleep. Their face takes on the glow of an angel and all is right with the world. My moon climbed into my lap on Saturday and says "momma hold me...." I pull him into my arms and he laid his head on my chest. Little hands in fists as he squirms to get comfortable. Not five minutes later he is fast asleep. All I could do was watch as his chest went up and down as he slept. I think back to the day they told me those easy breaths were not so easy for him. I look at him and see the helicopter that took him from the small hospital where he was born to the much larger hospital in Ft Worth, TX. I watch him breathe and thank God that these breaths come easy for him now. I see him climbing on the chair, to find chocolates with his impish grin on his face. Knowing if he gets the chocolates the punishment will be well worth the punishment he will receive.
I am thankful for this beautiful little person. He has yet to meet a stranger. Everyone is his friend and every lady he meets gets a kiss when she leaves his presence. I see his daddy in him more and more each day. The way he eats, the way he sleeps, the way he loves his family. This boy child of mine will always be close to my heart. My little moon.....he won't always be little but I think I will always see him as a curious toddler, loving everything and everyone around him and never leaving a rock unturned..............
