I Want to Remember...

04.18.2011

Today was one of those days with lots of little "moments"...
Moments I didn't manage to catch on camera & moments that I did.
It was a day that left me thinking "I hope I always remember this".

I want to remember B coming home from daycare (after Grandma had picked him up) and marching straight in the door, peeking around the entryway wall and giving the biggest smile and wave just for his baby brother (who was basking in the sun in his bouncy chair).

I want to remember the huge smile that lights up his face with his arms reaching towards me as he runs to give me a hello kiss. {sigh} Melts my heart.

I want to remember how he goes directly to the kitchen and reaches up to the cabinet above the fridge for "fruit snacks"...and that when Grandma goes to indulge this whim, he climbs right up on the stool to "help".

I want to remember how much he truly loves his Grandma, and how much giggling and laughter I've heard from the two of them in the last week. It just makes my heart and soul smile.

I want to remember how much he desires to play outside...so much so that he escaped out the doggie-door barefoot. When retrieved by Grandma and told that he needs shoes on to go outside, I want to remember how he promptly slipped his feet into his dad's shoes...and then made an attempt to head back outside.

I want to remember little man's chubby little cheeks and hair brushed to a mohawk-like point.  I feel like I am cherishing this newborn stage more than I ever did the first time around.

I want to remember how peaceful the day felt without the two-legged tornado...just baby, Momma & Grandma hanging out all day :)

I want to remember watching the giant snowflakes gently float to the ground.  Even though I was thinking "you've got to be kidding me...it is snowing AGAIN!" I was still able to appreciate the beauty of the soft snowfall.

I want to remember how tired I am feeling these days, even though I am accomplishing not much at all...

I want to remember the happiness that hung over my head all day like a halo.

Happy Monday!
What do you want to remember?
