Goodness me.
Nearly a year later:)
I've been thinking about blogging again. Mainly because the kids are so darn adorable and I want to document their lives.
So why did I finally start writing today? Well, baby boy (who's no longer a baby) had the sweetest interaction with some firemen. We were on our way back from the library, it was just the two of us as I try to give him some personal time while Zuri is napping at home (with daddy who just had his tonsils removed - a story for another day). Back to the firemen. As we got to the zebra crossing, a fire truck stopped to give us way. And as any 3yrs old would, Urijah started to wave with one hand as he held his apple with the other. They waved back with kind smiles and as we tried to cross and since it was a double lane, our attempt was obstructed by other cars driving passed. One fireman held out his hand to stop the traffic. And we walked on safely. Once we got to the other side, Urijah waved them goodbye while saying thank you (yep I did prompt him to say thank you). And the firemen replied with a honk and boy was my little guy elated! He turned to look at me and said "mommy, did they honk for me?!". And once I confirmed that they did, he couldn't stop talking about that moment. Also reminding me that we were just talking about firetrucks while walking to the library.
Such seemingly insignificant story but it made my day and definitely made Urijah's already amazing day which was also filled with a swim class, a new toddler pool at home and playing drums with a percussionist. So I wanted to document this memory because the kindness those firemen showed to a toddler passing by, brought me hope about life in general. It truly is the little things that matter most.
