Big Blue Eyes

Tonight is date night with my little man. Jeremy is wrapped up in a business meeting (fancy dinner that is). It is frozen pizza for me and my date, but I don't mind...less cooking and cleaning for me. "Yes! Pepperoni pizza" that is what I over hear James say as I pulled this out of the freezer and placed it on the baking stone. Pure Laziness...I know! While dinner was cooking we started on his homework. And yes...we do have homework, even in kindergarten. James wrote his numbers 0-5 three times and then spelt his name once more for me. After this we read two books and then went over his words for the month. I try my best to make this as interesting as possible for him. He seems to like school pretty well so far. I am so proud of him. James is so smart (he must get it from me-ha!). After homework, we stuffed our faces with yummy pizza and then James decided on a movie. Sea Level for the 100,000,000th time. Personally I don't see his interest in this movie, but then again I haven't been five in quite sometime. As we sat and watched, my mind slowly drifted to other things. I turned my head and caught a glimpse of James just sitting there watching...simply amazed. Those BIG BLUE eyes don't miss a beat. His hair is getting long again and his beautiful locks are dangling in his long eyelashes. He doesn't seem to mind, still he sits and watches. He is lost in a world of wildly beautiful sea creatures. He laughs and I can't help but smile. I cannot believe how fast he is growing up. I swear it has gone by in just the blink of an eye. They say as you get older, the faster time goes. I am starting to believe this. Still, I look into my sons eyes and I am taken back...back to the first time I got to look at him and hold him. The day God gave my life more meaning and purpose. The day, Jeremy and I became first time parents. I hope those eyes of his are always a reminder. Those Big Blue Eyes...I am lost in pure happiness.
