French doors wide open
We perch ourselves in the sunniest spot
Taking in the Autumn sun
TV off, no computer screen catching my attention
No book or magazine or newspaper before my eyes
Nothing but you and me
I give you my undivided attention
No older sister or brother
poking their noses in.
Just you on your lonesome
Like a first born, I marvel at you
Your inquisitiveness, your movements,
How wonderful and fearfully created you are.
How blessed I am, I wonder in amazement
Dishes forgotten, washing left untouched,
Floors left dusty.
Captivated by you instead
All because on this sunny Autumn day
I chose to give you my undivided attention instead.
Whoop whoop...the chicken pox are clearing. Thanks for the love and concern on this post. Bubbas been a real trooper...and we are slowly coming out of quarantine... xx

perfect Jackie, just perfect. Loving that you are relishing in the time with your sweet boy and using the 'quarantine' as a special time for you and him.
Precious - love how you write.
Thanks for inspiring me to stop and 'smell the baby's head' ;)
Love it. Its how I think sometimes, but I never write it down. You totally captured it:)
Such a beautiful way to spend your day.xx
It's the infrequency in us stopping and choosing those 'undivided attention' moments that makes them so beautiful.
