I Missed It

I missed it. Ugh, did I ever miss it. I was packing for a 2 day trip and Bug was keeping busy helping pack, playing with blocks, and doing other random things around the house. I walked into the kitchen and she was sitting on the floor under the table and counting. I asked her what she was up to and said she was playing hide and seek with the cat. Then she popped up, the cat ran, and she ran. It was adorable. And just like that I let it pass right by me without hardly blinking. I was too busy doing something, I don't even know what, but it could have waited. I should have stopped and played with her. This has happened before, I was "busy" doing something that wasn't important or could have waited and missed out on hearing her laugh so hard it has to be coming from her toes, or engaging with her as she's playing a game. The lesson I learned today, slow down. Unless its something that absolutely cannot wait, enjoy these moments. Breath. Just be. Enjoy.
