On Friday I had Caleb's 18 month pictures taken, and of course, they are adorable. When I got home I compared the current pictures to those of the ones of him at 3 or 6 months. It's so unbelieveable to see how much he has changed in a year! This time last year he was just learning to sit up on his own, and now he's his own little person flying around the house. I'm so excited for the upcoming holidays to see his reactions and create memories with him. Is there anything better than getting to see Christmas through the eyes of a little child?
The right word to use for being a mother to my Caleb, is Joy. There is no other way to simplify what I feel when I look at him. Granted, there are times when I'm not joyful. Overall, though, those unjoyful moments are quickly out numbered by the joyful ones. The past few nights as I've put Caleb to bed, I take a quick moment to rock him in my arms. Before I know it, he'll be too tall and too embarrased of his mom. So, I'm savoring that little joy for all it's worth.
Enough of my sappiness though. I think joy is hard to find in this world, so to be able to find it in the eyes of my little boy, is definetly heaven sent.
"Learning to live in the present moment is part of the path of joy."
