I never know when it's going to happen.
The waves of joy sweeping over me.....
When the baby flips through a book and his face lights up at the sight of a tractor....
When he races away from me and looks over his shoulder and laughs....
When he tilts his head into mine to kiss my face.....
When he dumps his toys out of his toy bin and lifts his leg to climb in, because he wants me to push him around the house.....
These moments are just seconds in my day..
The bright warm waves of joy sweep over me and I pause,
to just be.
