But...not tonight. Tonight, my almost 5 year old wanted me. All of me. Not a distracted, go through the motions me. Just mommy. As we full embraced hugged, this was the exchange:
"Decs, please promise me that you'll always and forever love your mommy."
"I promise. Because you are silly and nice and beautiful."
{I die of the sweetness}
"....no matter how old you are, you'll love me?"
"Even when I'm a daddy like daddy, you'll be my fave."
How did I get the cutest, sweetest, most heart warming child ever? Probably because he's the most challenging, will testing, busiest, talkative kid ever. God knew all his qualities would perfectly mesh.

I have those same flash-forward memories. I am trying to soak all the moments in, now...we will miss these days!
This post just made my cry laugh with a mouth full of tea I was about to spill out.
I have a baby boy of one year and I also have this flash forwards ... Being a full time working woman, I miss most of the times I could spend with him.
It's hard to leave him in the morning, he hugs my arm while sleeping and wont let it go even when he's asleep.
Children are so precious!
