Taking time for a slice

Our days just seem to fly by.  Jocelyn and I quickly go from one activity to another, always on the move.  We do enjoy our quite relaxed mornings, but I've been realizing lately that I need to stop and just absorb our time together more.  Look her deeply in the eyes and really listen to what she's saying.  She has just so much to say, and with so much excitement about the world too.  

I took her out for some pizza this afternoon, and we sat, Mommy and Daughter, enjoying a slice.  I sat across from my now big girl and just pondered how we got here so fast.  She is truly an amazing human being, with such enjoyment of life  She has so many questions about things- whats that sound? What's that thing? Whose that person? What's he doing?  Just sitting, listening and talking with her is so amazing.  

While sitting there, she all the sudden squealed with excitement because she saw a picture of "our bridge".  "Our bridge, Mommy!, Our Bridge!"  It was a picture of the Brooklyn Bridge up on the wall.  "We go under the bridge"  "That's right babe, we do."  "That's our bridge Mommy, our bridge."  

Taking the time for a 30 minute slice is what it's all about.
