Three years old

There are some days where I feel like I'm in a time warp - the minutes are hours long and the days seem like they last for years.

Then there are the days when I'm vividly aware of the speed with which time passes, grasping for fleeting seconds, hoping to hold on to them for just a little bit longer.

Like today. His day.

Three years old.

We played all morning at the park, followed by a lunch date at Applebees, a sweet treat at Cold Stone and then running through sprinklers. Cake and presents. Lots of smiles.

And to end the day, a big chocolately, cheesy smile.

I am ever so grateful for this day three years ago when he changed my life.

Happy birthday, big boy.
