My husband and I went to a wedding this past weekend, sans child. I have to confess, it was amazing dressing up and being able to enjoy a nice [quiet] brunch. It was all great until one of the grooms had his dance with his mom, and the song included lyrics such as: “Mama, you taught me to do the right things. So, now you have to let your baby fly.” Cue the waterworks! Next, it was the other groom’s turn to dance with his mom. Their song was Vanessa Carlton’s “Thousand Miles” and while in and of itself the song is not too sentimental, the moment was filled with wonderful emotions when his mom shyly walked to the dance floor and he said “Come on mom, it’s our song.” In that moment I though, I can only hope that my son and I have such a great relationship that we have “a song,” that we share a connection. My husband didn’t understand why I was crying or why I was even thinking about our one year old’s [distant] future wedding. But I couldn’t help it. Time is flying, I wish I could hold time still. This past year went by in the blink of an eye.
This is the part where I use what I said above to excuse my absence from the blog. But truly my only excuse is … Life happened. Nick (remember in the last entry when I said I didn’t know what he would go by? Well, he answers more to Nick than Nico now.) is now a one year-old toddler. He started walking at 10 months and has about 5 teeth. When he was six months we bought a new home so he already experienced his first move. Thankfully, he can barely remember our old hut so the move was like nothing to him. We absolutely love our new neighborhood and the town sometimes makes me feel like I live in Stars Hollow, minus the nosy neighbors. I’m still a working mom. And … I think that’s all the updating needed for now.
More than anything, I really want to document my adventures with Nico for him; but I would also love to hear about your adventures along the way. Follow me on social media for daily updates :).
