memory sake

Things that I loved about today (which was actually a few days ago):
- Driving along a stretch of the river slowly trying to soak in these early signs of spring on the trees
- Eating lunch outside at a park on a swinging bench with my favorite little boy
- L taking a bite of his sandwich and then running off to go down the slide again and again
- L was playing with a new friend, and right in the middle of it he ran up to me and gave me a hug and a kiss. I love how he's not old enough to be embarrassed by that.
- When far away on the other side of the playground, I heard his little voice out of all the other kids calling out to me. I looked for him, and when our eyes met he smiled real big and proceeded to climb the steps to the slide. He just wanted to know that I was watching
- Watching L fearlessly climb to the top of the big-kid playground to go down the biggest slide over and over again
- While sitting and eating grapes together, L would continually scoot closer until our legs were touching side by side and keep eating. He did this every time he came back to sit down after playing.
- L running as fast as he could down the ramp and into my arms for a big hug
- Listening to him say 'swing,' 'slide,' and 'fast' over and over again
- When it was time to go, watching him turn around and wave to the playground saying "bye play"
