Things to remember

As I was cuddling my little boy last night before bed, his warm little body nestled in my arms, his blonde little head resting on my shoulder, and I listened to the steady breathing of a little boy who's just fallen asleep in his most favorite place in the world...the safety and comfort of his momma's arms...I told myself to take a mental snapshot of this moment. This most perfect moment. This moment that years from now, when he's all grown up and I'm lucky to get a quick hug as he's running out the door, I'll long for and wish I could re-live. Don't you just wish there was a way to bottle these moments up?? Like earlier last night when I peeked out of the kitchen to see my husband lying on the floor, reading a book to our son...who was sitting there just completely enthralled with his Daddy's story. Heart...melt. Or when I was making dinner and all I could hear was a cascade of non-stop toddler giggles as my two favorite guys in the world played in the next room. These are the moments life is made of. These are the moments that I want to remember, always.
