When I look into the eyes of my little man, a feeling of intense joy fills me and I am so very honored to have been blessed with such a vivacious son. Now don't get me wrong- there are times when I wish he was a bit more sedate. When we are in public and he is screaming at the top of his lungs out of pure joy, I might wish that he was a bit quieter or understood the concept of "inside voices". But when those big blue eyes meet mine and he smiles and laughs, my heart truly melts. That is my Warner. He may not be the quietest kid in the crowd, or the one who sits quietly, but he sure is one curious little guy who is always on the move. I love to see the world through his eyes and share a new experience with him for the first time. Being Warner's mom has taught me so much that is hard to put into words. Perhaps the biggest lesson that I have learned is to live in the moment. I have learned that the laundry and dirty dishes can wait if it means enjoying a new experience with my boy. Those are the moments that I will forever cherish!
One such experience occurred recently when we took Warner to the beach. This was only the second time that he had experienced the beauty of the beach and the majestic tranquility of the ocean. We took him when he was younger and lets just say that wet clothing + #2 diaper + sand= not a good combination! So off to the beach we go...and....Warner loved the beach-perhaps a little too much!
Things started out nicely- playing in the sand. And then....W discovered the ocean!
And then it was time to roll in the sand with wet clothes!
This is just one of the many examples of what life is like with our little man. Life is crazy sometimes, but we just have to sit back, laugh and enjoy the ride. I wouldn't have it any other way!
