My husband and two oldest sons are at a 24-hour Science Fiction Movie Marathon this weekend. That means that my 5-year-old and I get to spend some one-on-one time together. We headed to the library together then we went to the park. He had a great time swinging and playing on the slides. He even made a new friend. He is so friendly and outgoing. Everywhere we go, he says, "Hi! What's your name?" The best part of the whole day was as we were leaving, he said to me, "Thanks for thinking of this great idea. I just love playing at the park on a beautiful day!"
I know I tend to get busy and stressed out over all the things I take on or am committed to, but I need to make sure that I carve out more time to take my little boy to the park. Before I know it, he's going to be as big as his brothers and the days of going to the park and swinging on the swings together will be a distant memory.
It is usually the little things that our children enjoy the most--our time. What a sweet little boy. You are very blessed.
