Time in a bottle..

I have so many moments in the day that I wish I could bottle up and savor later. My camera or even the video camera will never be enough.

I want to forever remember the way she pats me in the middle of the night when she wakes up. (I'm sleeping with her right now...I'll blog about that some time.)

I want to remember how she gently rests her hand on my chest and looks up at me when I hold her. All the cute sounds she makes when she sleeps. The way she yells out noises from the back seat so we don't forget she's there. (As if!!) The look of joy on her face when she tastes something delicious. Or the look of concern when Mommy is eating something and not sharing! The way she hisses through her teeth when she's being playful. Even the way she smells sometimes. And how happy she is in the mornings.

So many things stop my heart during the day.

I sooooo know the feeling. Especially when I take her to bed every night.... it's the most precious moment.

All I can say is that I know exactly what you mean. Sometimes I feel like I'm going to burst because of it. Our 5 year old still slips into our bed almost everynight and snuggles with us and his little white puppy dog. It's so very sweet...and I guess with that I had more to say...Ha!
