Enjoying the moment
Watching Colin grow has been the biggest joy of my life. This morning, I couldn’t help but just stare at him play with his toys. Just a few months ago, we bought him this toy chest where you can take balls and drop them in at the top and the ball rolls down like a roller coaster. When we first got it, he didn’t know what to do with it and barely would watch the balls roll. Now he’s picking them up and dropping them in to watch them himself.
It’s the simple things like watching him develop and progress. As everyone says, these days go by real quick and I need to make sure to enjoy every moment of it. I’m doing my best to stay present whenever I’m with him and focus on just being with him and enjoying the moment.
However, it’s a lot harder than I’d like to admit. There are many moments when I’m just thinking about work with him and I’m not fully present. Last night, I was trying to push through a grocery delivery order while also playing with him. The craziness of life does creep up and my monkey brain has always liked to jump around.
However, the most important thing right now is Colin and I need to remember that I’ll miss these days. Everything else can wait for until after bedtime.
