Today, two great reminders of this special season of life. First, Ava, who has recently developed into an excellent kisser, wanted to kiss all of the parts of my head. My eyes, my ears, my nose, my chin. I gladly let her. Her wet lips on my cheek and the pop of her smooch are still fresh in my mind.
I then drop Jacob off at preschool. I stand by the window watching him put up his lunch box and jacket. He turns and looks at me. Gives me a big thumbs up and blows me a kiss.
It won't last. The days will change and so will my children. Those new days will be special in their own right. But this morning will be tough to beat.
Those are fantastic memories. I have some of those I carry with me to this day. We should all embrace those moments. They do pass all too soon, but, yet, as you say, it is exciting to see the change and the promise fulfilled.
