Good Morning Sunshine

I cherish my time with Liam in the morning. We lay in bed for hours, staring into one another's eyes, nuzzling and giving Eskimo kisses. We smile, and make funny noises at each other. If only I could bottle up our time together and save it for the future. For when he's a toddler, too squirmy to cuddle, a tween, embarrassed to be seen with me, and a teenager, sorry he was ever born. And some for the day he goes off to college and falls in love, and a little for the day he gets married. On those days I will think back to these precious days and smile, (and shed a tear or fifty) because for these fleeting moments in time his mommy and daddy are all he needs, but someday, we won't be the center of his world, and the thought of that just breaks my heart! So, for now, I will let the laundry and dishes pile up and watch him sleep in my arms for hours, and treasure every minute with my sweet baby boy... even at 3 am.
