If I Could…

February 5, 2015 by Michelle Filed Under: Being a Mom Leave a Comment

As I was laying in the bed with Reynolds tonight, I thought to myself: If I could stay here forever, snuggling with and tickling you, I would.  As a mom, the best sound in the world is the sweet voice of your child.  Giggling and belly laughing.   Saying “No, Mama no!!” and then “Gen!!” {for “again”} because the tickling is just too good to stop.

He rolled around pretending to snore, saying “‘Tay” {for “stay”} when I tried to leave.  And then when I said, “Reynolds, Momma loves you” he said “Uh-huh”…just like a boy would.

He steals my heart.

If I could keep him this age….

Then I remembered a book that we have.  I don’t remember who gave it to us, but it’s a sweet little read.  Entitled, “If I Could Keep You Little…”If I could

In those moments I remembered some of the words, “If I could keep you little, I’d hold your hand everywhere.  But then I’d miss you knowing, I can go…you stay there.” and “If I could keep you little, I’d keep you close to me. But then I’d miss you growing into who you’re meant to be!”

Yes, it tugged at my heart strings for just a moment…he won’t be small forever.  Almost two years have completely flown by.  My baby talks like crazy and has a great personality and I stand in amazement of him everyday of the things he says, does and remembers.  He is so stinking smart!

He will be all grown up before I know it.

So then I wondered…would I really?  If I could…

If I could make time stand still for just a few moments…..maybe I would….
