Journaling Reads:
Today I stayed home from work. It was a day full of firsts. We went to MyGym for free play and you said, "slide" for the first time. You played Simon Says for the first time. You told me to sit across from you so we could rock back and forth in the rocking boat. When we were in the backyard, you told me you were pooping. Today, we went to an Italian restaurant for dinner and you sat on the bench, right next to me, and behaved beautifully.

David, I know you have firsts every day of your life and I know I miss thousands of them. I'm always sad about missing all those special moments that we will never get to have together and all the memories I won't get to capture.

But today was an exception. Today I got to experience them all. I got to soak you in and I got to be a part of the person whom I love, the little boy who's changing every minute of every day.

Today was the best day ever.
