This photo a day challenge, is where I embark on the epic, personal journey to take one photograph every day for the month of January, of the things that are important to me.
There are times when I’m jolted into reality that my little boy is just that; a little boy. I tend to forget that seven is still little. I’ve been guilty more times then I care to remember of treating him as a bigger boy when perhaps I should not – mainly on account of him being my oldest baby of course. However, there are times, fleeting by nature, where my thoughts stand still. For that moment I’m thinking about how little he looks in the big wild world. Mostly it happens when he’s riding his scooter 50 meters ahead of me, or I’m watching him from a distance. Today though, we ventured to the movies, and it was there that my thoughts once again stood still. It was the way the seat swallowed him up and how the 3D glasses, miles to big for him, balanced precariously upon his teeny little nose. In that moment I was once again reminded that my Byron, whilst growing up so fast, is still my little boy.
I’m afraid for the day those thoughts are no more. I am – because natures’s mere act of reminding is obviously no longer required; the time will one day arrive when his feet touch the floor as he sits in the cinema chair . However today, as I hope to be tomorrow, I was reminded to cherish his ‘littleness’ once again. And that, makes my heart happy.
