I am going to miss this ~trips to the Botanical Gardens

Sometimes I need a bit of reframing.

This trip felt overwhelming, loud, and tiring but then I looked at the posts I used to do of things I would miss about my boys being small.

And I do. I miss it.

So I decided to look at yesterday through the lens of things I would miss so I can look back on it in a few years and remember.

I am going to miss sharing these experiences with my kids.

I am going to miss them wanting to play on every loud instrument.

I am going to miss goofy smiles as they photo bomb each others pics.

I am going to miss hiking buddies.

I am going to miss the wonder and excitement of finding something unexpected.

Even if it is a venomous snake…

Most of all, I will miss seeing them in front of me. Exploring and taking things in.

One day I will walk through a garden in the quiet and miss them and the noise they make.

My two oldest are getting to the point they don’t join in on everything, their plans are changing and that means they are not always there. And I miss it.

I will miss waiting for him to get his shot.

Watching their fascination with an animal eating.

Silly pictures next to the sign.

Their excitement of the petting zoo.

Insisting we stop at the zoo wagon every time.

Someone that thinks me making voices for the animals is funny.

Snack time.

Silhouettes next to the Sea lion tank.

Laughing with them about the silly squirrels.

Seeing my oldest share his camera with his brother.

That they still love to ride the Carousel.

Over and over.

I will miss two boys begging to ride the train just “one more time”.

I will miss these trips to the zoo one day.

I want to cherish them now.

I am going to miss this ~Gap Toothed Smile

My youngest lost another front tooth recently and I can’t stop smiling every time I see that gap.

Of course he did not want to cooperate when I wanted a picture of it.

I finally got it though.

I will miss that slight lisp and that childlike smile.

Those baby teeth will be gone one day and I want to cherish this right of passage as much as I can.

He makes silly faces every time he catches me smiling at him.

I love this boy.
