Ever noticed Michael Buble's Lisp?

I'm sitting here to document the sweetest moment I've shared with Lincoln today, before I forget this overwhelming feeling of joy.  As I was updating my facebook, and downloading the recent Matt Giraud tunes, Lincoln, feeling left out, struggled to scale my chair, onto my lap.  Realizing I need to soak in as much one on one time with the darling, dangling from me before another little dude begins demanding so many duties, I suddenly stopped and realized the greater, more satisfying opportunity before me.  

Current iTunes song playing - Michael Buble's "I've Got the World on a Thstring."  (Has anyone else noticed the undeniable lisp that man has?  I've been to the concert and a big fan since 2005, but only in the past year have notice it more and more.  Now I can't get passed it.)  Being a big Buble admirer himself, Lincoln started beaming and bopping his head to the beat.  We spent the next 3 songs twirling and dancing together.  Amidst the bright eyes and boisterous giggles from twirling with mommy, the joy beaming from him reminded me of the delectable day almost 4 years ago when Johnny and I danced to Buble at the event that began the most marvelous journey I could have ever imagined.  Then, my memory led me to imagining twentysome years from now, I could be dancing to the same song with the same son on his special day.  This thought brought me to tears.  (Well, everything brings me to tears these days.)  Anyway, I cannot wait for that day to come, however the thought of not being able to scoop him up, tickle his belly and cover him in kisses leaves me weeping.

I've heard many say that each phase and age is better than the last.  I understand that statement as it's wonderful to see the little bundle of poop and drool progress daily, but sometimes I wish he'd stay 16 months forever.  I am so grateful to have the ability to stay home and witness every new experience he has.
