Bob was playing with his friends at the park. I watched as he started down the hill, skidded and landed on his head and skidded some more.
"Mom! Mom!" He was crying. I ran to him and picked him up.
"You okay, honey?"
"Put me down!"
"Okay, babe."
"But hug me."
"Sure. Why don't we go sit down?"
"No but I need you to stay with me, Mom!"
"Don't you want to go get some water and settle down?"
"No! I need to stay with my friends!"
"Are you afraid you're going to miss something?"
"I'm afraid I might miss everything!
Bob Rosenberg doesn't miss ANYTHING. Nor does his mama.
ReplyDeleteMy heart just broke a little. Remember when the guys didn't want to leave our side no matter what? Every new step is wonderful but a little sad too.
ReplyDeleteI know how you feel Bob! I don't want to miss anything either!
ReplyDeleteBob, you are a true soldier. Shake it off and get out there, don't miss a thing!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness. All boy. Seriously, your blog makes me laugh every single day! Thank you again, time a thousand, for sharing your hansom little boy's heart with the world! The innocence of children is such a precious (and oft hilarious) thing.
ReplyDeleteWow...I completely remember that feeling. I was mortified at the thought that life would continue on for my friends even when I wasn't there.
ReplyDeleteOh, my heart... brave boy.
ReplyDeleteHe is excellent, Lisa!!

ReplyDeleteI love the stories of your son! They make me so excited to have children of our own. He is so precocious (in a good way!) and also so sweet in moments like these. I really enjoy your blog.
