I am grateful for the status update someone (I can't remember who) posted on Facebook a few days ago. She said something along the lines of, "There is nothing so precious as holding your baby."
It was such a commonplace comment that I only noticed it in passing; in fact, I doubt that I even took the time to "like" it. But it keeps coming into my mind, and the simple thought has helped me to more fully appreciate the sweet smiles, to take an extra moment to focus on my beautiful baby, or to simply be thankful for the moment while I'm standing, swaying back and forth as I watch a movie to sooth a bit of fussiness.
So many people tell us to enjoy this crazy, chaotic time while our kids are young because they grow up so fast. And a lot of times that's easy to forget; life is crazy and chaotic. But my friend's post has stuck with me and is helping me to live in the present and appreciate--now, while she's still a baby--my sweet, precious Tavlin.
