Hang on to idyllic moments

Big Moments: * Birthing my daughter.  Was it intense?  Yes.  But it’s also insane feeling a baby exit your body… my husband and I sang “I like you as you are” to her while the midwife team was doing all their checks and what not.  It felt very perfect and so different from my son’s birth. * Floating in the Nantucket Sound and feeling at peace, a marked difference from years prior when floating would send me into brief fight or flight. Also, just being able to swim in the ocean as much as I wanted for a few days. * My son starting preschool and LOVING it.  We did a lot of preparation but I was still worried sending him off into the world without me.  It’s been awesome to see how much he’s grown in a positive way. I have had so many small moments over the past year that felt idyllic, and I’ve made a mental note to hold onto them.  Small moments with my husband, kids, other family, friends.  My day to day isn’t as expansive as it was in the past, but it’s deepened.  I love this stage of life.  It’s full of so much love.

Found this on X the other day, I don’t think I’ve smiled this genuinely while looking at a post! This has to be the sweetest thing a Dad can do and I cannot wait to have a daughter one day! :)

Seeing kids as lil' buddies

And by that I mean whole humans with their own views, preferences, ideas, beauty, personality. Even babies come out of the womb with their own unique energy, it's miraculous! I love getting to know my children. I love spending time with them. I miss them even when they're just sleeping upstairs. Of course I'm their parent and need to instill boundaries and what not, but I do think the way I inherently view them makes it easy for me to do so in a respectful and empathetic manner. What a gift it is to witness the world through their eyes. We really are all just wanting to be seen, loved, and respected. I love being a parent. I love working with kids. It really is an honor, for real.

Bird clock

It makes the same chirps every hour as the bird it matches up with… and I love it.

Bows

Bows on shirts, bows on necklaces, bows on trees… can’t go wrong.
