in the moment


Last weekend in his standard explorer, mud-pie, weird-contraption-building mode, Liam sighed, "I wish I could find something in this yard." And then he did.

In a week of endless work, worry and waiting, I have been willing myself to remember that little-person awe, the giddy and urgent shrieks to "catch him", the giggles as our new friend hopped out of my inexperienced hands again and again. It was a moment of pure happy.

For a bossy doer who's always looking for the answers, it can be hard to find these gifts. So, I'm thankful this week for two wonder boys and a toad who brought me back to reality, if only just for a moment.
