I'll Love You Forever

Today my boy woke up and walked straight to the fridge (faithful bunny in hand) and climbed inside to see what he wanted for breakfast, as he does every morning. There was nothing extraordinary about this moment. But as I watched him, I imagined him, 15 years from now doing the exact same thing and I thought of the line from my favorite children’s book “I’ll love you forever, I’ll like you for always, as long as I’m living my baby you’ll be.” I felt compelled to snap a shot of him because these early years of his life will be long gone before I know it. These insignificant moments and early mornings will be missed and someday I will look back and wish I could turn back the clock to these diaper days where he asks me to wash his strawberries and pour his milk. Because these days, he still cuddles. He still says 'I love you' and gives me messy kisses. He still wants to play with me. He wants to sit by me. He just WANTS me. And I’ll miss this.💙
