A day of firsts and some reflection
Today, Liam learned how to catch a ball (really well!) and to take off his clothes!
He loves to be snuggled and be my 'baby' now more than ever. I think he senses what a big boy he's becoming and we both want to stop time.
I also found a stash of burp rags in a drawer in the living room. There was a time when I would carry one around the house and it might only stay dry for 2 minutes. If I left home, I brought three cloths and a spare shirt (for each of us). Now, it seems like that first year and all the issues with reflux and trying to stay out of the line of fire are just distant memories.
That little baby is almost two years old and there doesn't seem to be anything he can't do for himself. I'm so lucky that he still thinks that only I know the ending to all the truck books and have exclussive access to Bear Gummies. He thinks I'm hysterical and is my constant shadow. Right now, I can trick him into thinking starting the washing machine is a fun game.
I want our snuggles and play dates to go on forever but, like these forgotten burp rags, some day he won't need me as much. I'm going to sneak upstairs and breathe in his little baby smell and kiss his soft cheek and remember, for next year, how sweet it was to have a two year old and how little he seemed.
I love you, Bub!
