Priceless

This past Sunday, Camden had a soccer game. Every few minutes they switch out with their sub, come off the field, get a water break, and usually have a pep talk with their Dad. During the second half of the game, Blake was down at the other end of the field close to the goalie doing some coaching since the kids can't hear their coach from that end. So when Camden stepped out of the field and saw that his Daddy was way over on the other side he grabbed his thermos and came over and say in my lap. As I held my sweaty little boy and listened to him cheer on his team and gulp his water, I contemplated once again how precious this time was. What an adventure it is to be a mommy to a son. This is such an amazing time in his life. Already becoming part man but still my little boy that would rather (at least sometimes) sit on my lap than stand on the bleachers with his teammates. I sat there with my arms around him feeling his heart about to beat out of his chest and savored an unforgettable moment.

Aw, yes those moments are so wonderful aren't they? Jack is 6, and in the same place...most of the time he'll love on me, but there'll be one or two times when he'll say "oh momma, not right now." Boo hoo!!!!!
