Let's Get This Blog Started

My first post...and is has to do with one of my favourite things...spending quality time with my baby. Well, he's not a "baby" anymore, but he's still my baby. (If you're a mom, you know what I mean.) The important thing is...David knows what I mean.

Bath-time Bubbles, Sharks and Whales were the topics of tonight's quiet evening with David. Everyone went to church, but the two of us. My plan was to get him to bed on time so that he'd be well-rested for school tomorrow.

He had fun playing with the bubbles and wanted pictures taken to document the event so that Daddy could see later on. We talked about the variety of whales and sharks and how they have such interesting names. We also decided that we need to take a trip to Marineland this summer because he wants to get some more bath-time friends.

I never sit with him any more when he has a bath. He's old enough to be on his own, but tonight for some reason I stayed. I'm not sure why. While I was sitting there he said the words that were music to my ears..."Mom, it's nice that you're staying here today. I really like that." Sometimes we have to just sit and talk and enjoy the quiet moments. Tonight was one of those nights. He's growing up so fast and I know there won't be many more nights like this one where he'll still want his mom to sit at the tub-side.

After the bath we had a quick game of cards before it was time for bed. I also broke out the flute and played his 3 favourite night-time songs, the ones I usually sing to him. I thank God for quiet nights and music and for my little boy that loves me...God is good.
