If I could only…

This morning I’m wishing I could freeze time.  Freeze Samuel just the way he is.  Freeze the dynamic of our family.  Freeze Christmastime.  Life is so good for us.  And happy.  We’re all healthy.  I would freeze having a baby this age, one month away from turning one…two naps a day, footed jammies, baby breath/Cheerio breath, bottles, open-mouthed kisses, toothless grins, sad cries, squeals of delight, peek-a-boo, blonde wisps of new hair on an otherwise bald head, tired eyes at night, cruising furniture, discovering, playing, inverted knuckles, crawling fast but not walking, babbling, ma-ma-ma, etc, etc, etc…

But then I wouldn’t get to see him be an angel and sing "Silent Night" at his preschool Christmas program (like I get to see Caleb do tonight), and I wouldn’t hear him tell me joke, after joke, after joke from the library book he picked up (like I hear Jacob do).

But this morning I’m feeling like I would…if I could…freeze him this way for forever.

    So great that you’ll have these entries to reflect back on when they are teenagers 😉 As great as teenagers can be, you don’t get nearly as much of the cute, warm & fuzzy, touchy-feely stuff. You often have to look on with pride from the sidelines so that you don’t embarrass them!

    This entry makes me want to rush to your house and kick you out for an hour so that I can play with your baby. I could squeeze him right through the computer screen. He is such a sweet little thing.
