A precious moment

This afternoon I got to hold Michael for about 15 minutes while he watched "Bob the Builder". Michael's favorite person these days is Daddy, not Mama. He usually asks to have a snuggle with Daddy, have Daddy carry him, buckle him, etc. However, today I got to be the one to hold him!! I loved rocking him and holding him. He hasn't felt very good today, so he just relaxed in my arms with his blankies. He's going to be 3 in January, and day by day he is seeming to lose a little bit of his "babyness". The time that he has left of being my baby is slipping by, although he will truly always be my baby. It was such a precious moment to just enjoy him today, making the moment count in my heart.
