To remember...
Almost every day, I have a moment that I think, I want to remember this. This is what makes life beautiful.
Like how Lincoln is so engrossed in whatever fruit or breakfast food is on Penny's counter that he forgets I exist. Silly, hungry boy.
Like how happy this little boy is to just be outside.
Like the sound of his silly giggle and how he pants (yes, like a dog) when he's excited and happy.
Like how he runs to me, arms outstretched, when I pick him up at the end of the day.
Like how, sometimes, I am enough for him - just me as I am.
Like how, while we were at the supper table tonight, the moving truck in the neighbor's driveway pulled away and Lincoln started waving, calling out, "Bye! Bye-bye! Bye!"
Like how on the way to Penny's this morning, he insisted on having his dog book so he could "read" for the three minute drive.
Like how he giggles and climbs on me when I do abs or planks in the living room, how he handed me his little horse three times today as I tried to work out, insistent that I hold it.
Like how, one day, he laid down next to me as I did sit ups and put his hands behind his little head, like I do. I helped him do "sit ups" and he laughed out loud the whole time.
Like how you can watch his little mind working, trying to figure out the world around him.
Like how his face lights up when he makes a discovery or a connection.
Like how his curiosity, innocence, and joy make my world a better place to be.
