Time, stop already!

If time could freeze I have a feeling it would take me right back to today. Back to the beach where Kalani and I jumped in the waves and practiced surfing in the sand. It would take me to breakfast where Kalani kept insisting that everything is “so yummy.” To the frozen yogurt stand where he sat patiently waiting in the kiddie chair for me to join him. Yes, I’m quite certain it doesn’t get better than today. Kalani running around playing his new drum, showing off his soccer skills, or thanking Greg for the dinner he made. Doing the mmm dance because his food is just “so yummy” it can only be expressed through dance.

I don’t see how life could possibly get better than this. Every time he says “Bye, I’m going surfing!” with a different contraption by his side, it makes me so happy. It also makes me cringe. One day I know that will be true. He will go out on his own, not spend every waking moment with me. I love today. I am so blessed that I am able to spend all the time I do with my son. I can’t wait for his brother to come so we can have new adventures together. I just hope that tomorrow when Kalani comes to me with a book to read or a soccer ball to kick, I’m not too busy to notice. I hope I remember that I will long for these days and put everything else aside to spend this time the best way possible. Because today is the best day of my life if I let it be.
