Mama's Boy

On Sunday, Brad took Taji out for some boy-time...... but on my days off from work, he's all mine! Taj will always be a mama's boy and I feel SO privileged to have my precious time with my little boy. My heart is the happiest when I'm around him, and his little giggle and smiles are heaven-sent. I'm so lucky to have this much time with him, so I truly treasure each day I'm home with him. Usually we will go to our neighborhood park, walk around CDM, lunch with friends, or go to Kindermusik class, but atleast once a week I try to plan a very special mommy-son outing. This past Monday on President's Day, while Brad went in to the office, Taji took me out to Laguna Beach for a lunch date! ;) We went to a charming little bakery- Cest La Vie, for some apple crepes & green tea (for me) and yogurt with toasted o's (for Taji).
The day was absolutely beautiful so we went swinging and played on the jungle gym right on the beach!

We walked around the town, and did a little shopping. Taji helped me pick out new fabulous sunglasses! Here he is smiling big behind his pacifier :)

We must have spent about 4 hours playing around in Laguna Beach, it was so much fun! Days like these is what I live for, and no matter how old Taji gets, how busy our lives get, or how many other children are in the picture, I will always make time for this special mother-son bonding. Come to think of it, I promise my little Taji that we will make Cest La Vie, Laguna Beach our little spot. And Taji, I promise you I will always be your #1 cheerleader, your shoulder to cry on, your rock when life gets difficult, and no matter what you set your mind to and feel passionate about, i will always always support you and hug you tight.

These days Taji is so eager to grow up and all i can really do now is hold him as much as possible before he gets any bigger, squirms out of my arms, and runs away from me! I am already starting to miss my little Taji baby, I can't believe how quickly they go from being newborns to infants to toddlers. And with only 3 months left now before he turns the big ONE, i will seize every minute and opportunity I have to be with my little mama's boy :)
