ZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I can hear Noah snoring through the baby monitor. He has a cold. His 3rd ever. But he keeps smiling, laughing, playing… I have my heart in my mouth, worried about what-if and all that crap, but he is joyous and mostly annoyed by the green snot seeping down over his upper lip. Being a parent teaches you new things each day, but over and over it reminds you: BE GRATEFUL. This is an easy thing to write or tell others, but to actually take a break each day and genuinely think on the things that you have and the reasons you have to be grateful takes effort. And having a kid has forced me to take that moment and genuinely reflect.
