I am blessed to have had my son later in life when I could focus on and appreciate who and what he is. Most of the time.
The day this photo, he had just finished playing at the park while I worked on my laptop. The air was filled with "Mommy, watch me!", "Did you see that Mommy?", "Here I go, Mommy!", and "Mooommmmyy, are you watching me?!?!?"
I am shamed to say that I wasn't.
Well, I was. But I was watching him while working on my laptop so I didn't really get to see his joy, his laughter, his fun - him. I had missed the most important moments. The most fleeting moments. Of life.
Lesson learned.
So, I put my laptop in the car, sat down and watched his joy, his laughter, his fun - him.
"Mommy,watch me!"
And indeed I did.
Go Free Rider!
