To my little world.

Sunday is my absolute favorite day of the week because I get to spend the entire day with my little monkey man. I don't clean anything.. I don't do laundry.. I don't stress (for the most part) we just go on our adventures. Normally, just me and him... no interruptions.

Today was beautiful outside. We started the day by shopping. I bought him some bigger clothes. That's one of the most amazing things about kids. They never, ever stop growing. Already... everything that I bought him at Christmas is already either on the verge of being too small, or it's already too small.

We bought bigger boy underwear.. for being a 3 1/2 year old.. the tidy whities were simply not cutting it anymore. Let's just say he needed a little more coverage in the underwear department. He is SO pissed off that his new boxer briefs aren't covered in his favorite super heroes. But, because wolverine wasn't covering much of anything these days, we had to upgrade to something a little more "big boy"... so hopefully he'll forgive me soon.

We played at the park today. Our favorite park. We climbed the chain wall. We hung on the monkey bars. We raced. We fell down. We laughed. We swung on the swings. I even decided to make the swing go as high as I possibly could... then launched myself off of it. Great example for an almost 4 year old that isn't scared of absolutely anything... (ooops) Well.. I was just happy I landed and didn't break anything. We laughed more...

We got lunch. We played soccer. We danced for absolutely no reason at all...

We went to the movies. We got popcorn. Candy. Drinks.

This was only the 2nd movie he's ever gone to in the theater. We saw "We Bought A Zoo". I think it was a little bit mature for him, but he still loved it. We snuggled. We ate junk food.. it was perfect.

Someone I know said something the other day that really struck a cord with me. She said:

"You never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory".

That was life changing for me.

You can't anticipate life. You have no idea what it will bring, or when it will end. I feel like the most blessed mommy in the whole world because I have the most perfect little boy in the whole world.

It seems sort of selfish but he's my everything. Sometimes it's hard that it's just me and him... but I think it's sometimes more beautiful that way too. He gives me a new reason every day to love. He gives me a new reason every day to fight.

Thanks for the best day ever Monkey.. Always remember, mommy loves you.
