Here I am going about the business of motherhood with the sweet company of my 14 month~old son (-: Playing, exploring outside, enjoying the watery comfort of a cool sink~bath on a too~hot day... The moments of childhood go by so alarmingly fast; I know this because I also have a 9~year old daughter...I try to really pay attention, to really feel their presence and look into their eyes when we speak, to memorize the wobbly baby steps and the goofy laughs and the quirky ways they manipulate the world around them because I know that this time will be forgotten, cast aside for bigger and better things on the pathway to maturity. It brings about a sadness in me, but I also acknowledge the great beauty and honour it is to raise a child. To create a new being who will inevitably change and shape this blessed earth. The most wonderful gift (-:
