The simple things...

I have often said, and still do, that the simple things in life are what make me the most happy. From time to time though I seem to let that go by the way side and get caught up in other things and forget to just sit back and take in those little things. Well at 3am I have time to reflect, don't judge, and really take in those little things. Today for instance I enjoyed a wonderful day with my hubs and the little guy. After getting dinner on this morning we all got dressed I strapped Corbin into his mean green stroller and as a family we enjoyed a nice 3 mile walk/run in the sunshine. Afterwards we stopped off at the park for Corbin to run around. I have alway enjoyed watching grow and do things but these last few months have just been so great. He is like a sponge soaking up everything around him. Not a day goes by where I don't laugh so hard it brings tears to my eyes. His baby babble or the looks he gives me when I talk to him, this child has such a personality already. But as we played at the park today and I watch my hubs squeeze down a covered twisty slide (oh was that entertaining) and then see Corbin run full speed at me with arms out and fists full of mulch, to stop in front of me as if to say 'here mommy! Look what I got you!' just makes my heart smile. Those little things keep me going. No amount of money in the world would make me want trade those simple little things. I love my family and I cannot wait to see what 'precious' treasure my little man brings me next!
