Because I constantly want to rip myself away from playing with my daughter to do other things... Such as cleaning, cooking, bathing....
But then I remember that every minute she is growing. That laundry isn't going to change... The dishes aren't going anywhere... However she is. She started walking a few weeks ago and now I feel as though I have lost my little baby and am now starting the toddler phase. As excited as I am to start this journey with her I also look back and long for the days of her napping on me.
Which brings me to today's moment :)

I spent an hour just staring at her while she slept in my arms, and while a few tears rolled down my cheek thinking of how quickly she is growing. I wished that I could freeze this moment. I know the day will come where she will not want to cuddle me and I am sure more than a few tears will roll at that moment... But for now I have this... My cuddly little toddler.
So I guess the point of this post is... Stop rushing. Stop thinking of what you "could" be doing. Instead think of what you ARE doing! Realize that the universe has put you here, in this moment, for a reason. And just like that this moment will be gone and when you look back are you going to think "gosh I wish I didn't play with my child and did the laundry instead..."
Here are a few moments from this week :)
