"It's My Favorite"
1.
a new mini series of sweet moments
Holding hands with Kael is my favorite. He will get a burst of energy and run ahead. In his mind's eye, he's chasing a tiger or flying like Buzz Lightyear. But then, he will stop in his tracks and reach out with a huge grin on his face (his grin slays me) and asks to hold my hand. It never gets old. All of a sudden, time slows down and I can feel every part of myself soaking up the precious feelings of trust and tenderness. Watching my 2.5 year old toddler turn into a little boy has been the most amazing chapter of life that Samuel and I have experienced, so far. Last night, Samuel walked into the kitchen with tears in his eyes, after tucking in our little Forest friend and said, "Gosh I love our sons, Jess... Kael, he's just so sweet." More tears well up in his eyes, with a smile that leaves my heart in a puddle. Those are the moments I live for. There are days of whining, frustration and tears, of course. But, I am overwhelmed with tidal waves of love and awe, as I watch this boy of ours lavish sweetness and the most sincere affection on our hearts.
Kael, you can hold my hand forever.

I don't know where you've been the last couple months but I'm so glad you're back! Your words are so refreshing and full of love- I've missed them :)
ReplyDeleteSo, so, SO sweet. (And I second Kaity's comment up there!) My little guy is almost 2, and I love those moments where he just reaches out for my hand and says "mommy? Love you." *melt*

I've read your blog for a long time Jess, over a year I think, and I've loved reading about you and your boys.I've always wanted a family and I can't wait for the year I get to grow and birth and get to know my own babies, but I saw this post and my heart just GREW. I feel like my heart has taken up all the space in my chest for my lungs. To think one day I might be as lucky as you and hold my child's hand is just amazing!
