Sunshine and Sydney

Syd and I spent the afternoon outside-eating hot dogs, playing, and just enjoying the beautiful sunshine. I'm going to miss days like these. When it was just the two of us. When she had every ounce of my attention. When I could close my eyes for ten seconds to soak up the sun and not worry about her because she can't get very far. I'm going to fully enjoy our last six months as a twosome. I'm going to be selfish with her hugs and kisses. I'm going to take advantage of every day like today, even if I'm tired. Our whole world is going to change come September. It's not going to be just the two of us anymore. Sometimes I think "Oh crap! What did I do?". But I know it will be wonderful. Syd will have a best friend for life, and I will have two beautiful children to enrich the rest of mine.



So today we just played. I chased her down the driveway. She threw blocks anywhere she felt like. We shared a bowl of purple grapes. Then we decided to explore the street. As Syd practically ran down the sidewalk, all the while laughing at herself, I had to take a moment and just smile. She's so incredibly happy and loving life. We should all be so lucky.
