A few things that I cherish everyday with Parker that I wish would last forever:
How he goes and gets a book and then walks over to me with it and as I open it, he crawls into my lap and waits anxiously for me to begin reading.
How at night when I rock him- he wraps his legs around my waist, his arms around my arms and lays his head on my chest as I sing to him.
How when he is outside walking around and he gets to what I call "BIG step, Parker"- he looks up at me and extends his hand to mine so that I can help him up and down the big steps of his little world.
How when he is upset, for whatever reason, he comes up to me and holds onto my legs and longs for me to pick him up.
I know that one day, my little man will grow up and no longer need me the way he does now. I know that he will one day fall in love with another woman and she will take the spot of #1 in his heart- but right now- I will cherish being his mommy- and I will cherish everyday I get with my little man, and I will cherish being needed for the "big steps" of his life.
In Dee Forrest****** I am a mommy to four wonderful little boys. I love my role and want to remember every little detail of the days that I get to spend with them as a stay-at-home mommy. I am a homeschooling momma with a husband who is working full time along with full time seminary. This blog is to help me work through the daily, but mainly, it's to help me remember precious little moments that I never want to forget and cherish forever!
your words are sooooo true!!!! I love all those special moments with our precious babies that God gives us. Jayce is into this thing where he comes up to me and says, "Can I hold you?" meaning he wants me to hold him. LOVE IT!!!! Oh they grow up so fast. I just wish they could stay little. :)
