Because I know it won't always be this way

I know that I won't always be his hero.

I know that I won't always be the person that can get him to laugh, a big hearty belly laugh.

I know that he won't always want to be in my arms and snuggle with me all morning.

I know that he won't always want to sit on the couch and do nothing else but be in my arms.

I know that we won't always have days that allow for me to snuggle with him on the couch all morning.

And because I know that it won't always be that way, I am enjoying it while it lasts.

This mothering thing can be hard, but on days like today, I am glad to take one for the team.
