moments that i want to remember

for the past 2.5 years there have been small little moments with my boys wherein i think "i'm going to remember this always". i don't. i need to remember that i will forget the exact moment and to write it down.

recently, there have been a couple such moments and i am remembering them here:

• during an episode of croup, i'm standing outside on a freezing night at 2:30am, holding hugh wrapped in a blanket. we're looking at the stars and singing twinkle, twinkle, little star.
• every night as i hold henry while he drifts off to sleep. i want to remember what it feels like to hold my last baby in my arms.
