Daily Date

Everyday, after getting everyone up and going, dropping kids off at school, and finally returning (after any errands that we have), I sit in the rocking chair and this sweet boy climbs in my lap...
  
He usually is tired by then, and will lay his head on my shoulder.  And I simply rock.  I could be emptying the dishwasher, or cleaning something, or working out, or whatever.  But I sit...and I rock...and I savor every second that he will let me hold him and love on him.  I drink in his sweet smile and want to pause time so that he will never get any bigger...never age.  I know in the blink of an eye I will be dropping off three at school instead of two.

So for now we rock.  And I cherish our daily rocking dates.  Meet you there again tomorrow sweet boy...and they day after that...and the day after that...for as long as you will let me.
