I love blogging, and I love reading blogs. I find it very interesting to see a repeating theme or idea running through seemingly unconnected sites. I've been thinking a lot lately about the little moments in life, and how lovely they really are. How thankful I am for them. I was pleased to come across this post at Chatting At The Sky, about the gentle art of thankful noticing, and even more pleased to see that she is hosting a link-fest of observation today; you might like to check it out!
This morning, I was up early with Liam. After the essentials were done, Liam went off to play and I carried on with the rest of my morning routine. I was in the kitchen making Stuart coffee, singing "Feeling Groovy" when I looked up - Liam had "found" me! The sound of my singing had caught his attention, and he was peeking around the corner, head bobbing along with the song.
One of my most favourite things at this stage of babyhood is being found - Liam follows me around as I go through my day, and the delight on his face when he comes across me making beds or cleaning the bathroom or folding laundry is like a ray of sunshine piercing my day.
Precious, and fleeting. And again, I am so thankful.
What a sweet face that boy has! The way the whole face, and body, lights up when a baby "finds" you is something to be locked into forever memory.
Heehee, Feeling Groovy! That's a song for a light step and happy heart.

This is so sweet. I am at the tail end of those 'found' days. They are long in the midst, but disappear in a blink. Thanks for linking up and for sharing this sweet moment with us!

Not surprising, Wanda took every word out of my mouth.
Sweet Liam, I love the visual of him 'finding' you and bobbing along with the tune :^)
