I can't help but look at this photo and think about how one day, there will be teenage jeans and hoodies hanging off of my dining room chairs. It's all going to go by in such a flash. I want to hold on to all of the memories of his little things. I want to always have that perspective of how teeny and helpless he once was. To think that he's already doubled his size takes my breath away. Even as I try to document and savor all the wonder and beauty of each little moment with my child, I know that things will fade as time goes on. The best I can do is enjoy them and continue to write with the aim of banking these experiences with words for me to look back on as the years pass.
