In the blink of an eye

Yesterday while Mekhi and I ate breakfast a plane flew overhead. Mekhi looked up toward the ceiling and stated with ease, “airplane.” His enunciation was crystal clear and I was astonished. Immediately I praised him and my heart almost burst with pride. My son has a large vocabulary for a 19 month old and it amazes me how his mind is like a sponge, sopping up information like water. His father taught him about airplanes when we were at the airport last week. While they bonded I fussed with my computer, it was their time and I didn’t pay attention.

Obviously Mekhi did.

He retained everything his Daddy taught him. His days of being a baby are quickly growing short in number.

Today I give myself these words of advice: Be Present. Look. Don’t Blink. You might miss it.


And for Mekhi: The airplane is flying high my son but so are you baby, so are you.
