The first one was this afternoon. Jack was asleep in the house and I was letting Austin ride his "BIG BIKE" in the driveway. I even moved my car out of the way, much to his delight. There he was, riding around me in circles, pedaling like crazy and enjoying the fact that I was participating in this fun activity with him. All of it set to the tunes of the Christmas music I had booming out of the shower radio I had set up in the garage.
My second moment happened with Austin, too. Jeff and I went shopping for the boys and Jeff needed to make one more stop. He took Jack with him and I had Austin with me. We went to Starbucks for Hot Chocolate and we sat at a table together, waiting for my mom to order and join us. As we were waiting, Austin had me put the top on his cup and he took a cautious sip of his drink. I can't begin to explain the world I saw open up in front of my eyes as I witnessed his first Starbucks sip... all with his eyes glued on me like he knew this was a landmark moment. I explained to him that people sit, drink and talk at coffee shops and then he proceeded to ask me about my day at work and tell me a story about a mean lion pushing me down, and how he took me to the doctor, who was also mean. I can't wait to have countless more moments like this with him at coffee shops.
Jack, I promise to make a special memory with you tomorrow...
