Really enjoyed this read, and yes I think you've hit on a secret that slowing down and just being present is what parenting is about. Something that landed with me is that you'll only have THIS year with the kids once. So just one summer you'll have 1 baby this small. Also, the kids are so wonderfully able to just 'be' in the world with full presence... it's a great lesson to learn from them. (now if I could just get off my bloody phone more...)

I loved this piece, to be reminded of staying in the moments…beautifully put. Fresh angle.
love the ending
