I miss...

I miss...
  • Waking to a loud but cheerful “Mama! Dada! Mama! Dada!” (at the decent hour of 7 AM)
  • Walking into Zach’s room in the morning or after his nap to find him standing in the far front corner of his crib, with his blankie draped over the edge – ready to go!
  • Holding his little hand as we cross the street or walk thru a parking lot
  • Zach saying daily “what are we going to do today mama?” – ready for whatever adventures the day will bring.
  • Listening to Zach chatter as he stands on the stool at the end of the island, while he eats breakfast, colors, plays play-doh, etc.
  • Watching Scott take off with Zach in the jogging stroller, off on one of their almost-daily adventures around the lake and to the playground.
  • Laughing at the goofy things Zach says while he’s playing his various sports:
    - I’m kicking it old school – soccer
    - Go deep mama! – football
    - I cranked a homer! – baseball
  • Smiling at the sight of small kids running and jumping, instead of feeling a pang of envy.
  • Zach not even paying attention when I tell him I’m leaving.
  • Watching the pure and absolute joy on Zach’s face as he jumps on the trampoline.
