Today while Isaiah and I were eating lunch I noticed he was actually taking his time! It is usually gone before I have even sat down. But today he was eating one black bean, corn and pea at a time(as opposed to handfuls.) It was so funny to watch him, he would pick one up, examine it talk to it, then eat it and laugh. He did this with almost every single one. I was reminded that I too need to slow down sometimes! I often am consumed with what I have to do next or what I am doing tomorrow or next week. I never just enjoy the moment. I need to slow down and store these special moments somewhere because these are things I don't want to forget! He continues to amaze me as he grows and learns new things! After lunch we go outside for a short walk to get some fresh air. The walk usually consists of me not letting him put rocks in his mouth, trying to hold his squirming hand and him trying to go to fast and tripping over his feet. But not today, as we were walking it dawned on me that he was holding my hand, just walking along side me like an old pro. I thought to myself, Steph, you better enjoy this because there will come a day when he won't need to hold your hand anymore.(tear, tear!)
Ok enough of the sappy stuff! Point being, I need to relish in the now more often!
