Special Moments

My sweet first born little man. I just love him so much, I can't even describe how much. I have been so preoccupied with taking care of his sweet baby brother these last 4 months; it's been so hard for me to find that quality one on one time with the wonderful boy who made me a mother. The adjustment to two children and both of us working full time has been harder than I anticipated. Being a full time working parent team was much easier with just one child. Now, we have to divide and conquer just to make it through the work evenings. Don't even get me started on trying to cook dinner when I get home from work. I literally run around the house like a mad chicken with its head cut off just trying to get everything accomplished so I can have some quality time with my family. It's heartbreaking, frustrating, and has me falling down in a lump of tears at least once a week. It's just plain hard.

So, when a day happens like it did last weekend, I am beyond grateful. We bought Ronan an octopus kite last week and told him we would fly it over the weekend. This was such a little gesture, but had a huge impact. We saw someone flying a kite at the park a couple weekends ago and he was very intrigued so we just ordered the inexpensive kite on Amazon on a whim. So on Sunday we loaded up the boys in the strollers and went to the local elementary school to set up the kite. Rob watched Remy while I got out there with Ro and it was the BEST time. He caught on so quickly and I was just so proud of him. We were both running around the field with the kite like a couple of crazies, and it was a blast. The look of pure happiness on his face was priceless. And I finally felt like I was getting some quality time with my sweet boy, which has been very hard to come by these days.

Ah, if only the weekends didn't go by so fast! And my Ro can't wait to get his kite back out again this weekend!
