It’s a busy world…

…but Connor helps me “slow it down”.

I have always been the type to get things done, be on time, plan ahead, and try to stay organized.  At times in the past and even now, I find that makes my life “too busy”.

Well, one thing I have learned since having Connor is that I need to find time to slow it down.  Connor helps me slow things down by simply just being a toddler.  Whether it is walking into Target while he is holding my hand or being inquisitive with a puddle of water along a trail at Sandy Bottom Park, I have learned to slow it down and enjoy my time with him.

I will never have the opportunity to spend the previous minute, hour, or day with Connor so I try my best to enjoy the present.

So Connor, when you are much older and begin to have gray hair and a family of your own please be sure to “slow it” down and enjoy those little moments.  They come and go so fast…heck, just the other day I was holding you with one arm and letting you sleep on my chest.

Love,

Daddy
