"Simple" Lessons

Kellan brought me a dying bee today. I struggled at first to get him to drop it without scaring him or making the bee sting him.

When he finally dropped it I could see the bee stretching his legs and struggling to get to his belly...

Kellan imitated the bee with his hands and looked up at me curious.

So I told him the bee was dying.

Kellan pointed down and said, "Bee."

Then he leaned down to get a closer look and said, "Bye Bye."

And that was that.

Remember when...

I find myself in the middle of the day trying to catch that instance I know I will look back on.

I remember this moment very clearly...Kellan was 7 weeks here and we had just had a morning bath after he pooped all over me.

I remember my back aching leaning over the tub...trying to clean him before he put his hand in his mouth...I remember 5 minutes after it all happened thinking how funny it was but how I was glad it was over.

Until I took this picture.

Somehow when you look in reverse, you forget what got you into something and only remember the space you occupied once you were there.

As it should be.
