living with an infant is a constant lesson in perspective, privilege, love, appreciation and much more. today i find myself reflecting on the notion that in micah's world there isn't really day or night and there isn't a yesterday or a tomorrow. micah is in the present, and his present just flows.
what micah does so well that i think is hard for many of us is that he doesn't put his urges, needs, and wants off for a later date. there is no, "i will do that tomorrow" or " that can wait", instead there is "gimme that milk!" and there is "i'm pooping now" and there is no shame in taking a midday nap. i hope that as days turn to months, and months to years, micah will continue to go for what he wants and that we all might ask ourselves if our words and actions are truly reflective of what we want or if we are simply holding off for a day that may never come.
i hope your today is so full and wonderful that you haven't yet thought about tomorrow.
love you all.
