Little Moments Like That

I recently downloaded this song by Brad Paisley.

Little Moments Like That
Well I'll never forget the first time that I heard
That pretty mouth say that dirty word
And I can't even remember now, what she backed my truck into
But she covered her mouth and her face got red and she just looked so darn cute
That I couldn't even act like I was mad-
Yeah I live for little moments like that

That's like just last year on my birthday
She lost all track of time and burnt the cake
And every smoke detector in the house was going off
She was just about the cry
Until I took her in my arms
And I tried not to let her see me laugh-
Yeah I live for little moments like that

I know she's not perfect, but she tries so hard for me
And I thank God that she isn't
Cause how boring would that be?
It's the little imperfections, it's the sudden change in plans
When she misreads the directions and we're lost
But holding hands-
Yeah I live for little moments like that

When she's laying on my shoulder, on the sofa, in the dark
And about the time she falls asleep, so does my right arm
And I want so bad to move it, cause its tingling and its numb
But she looks so much like an angel,
That I don't wanna wake her up-
Yeah I live for little moments-
When she steals my heart again and doesn't even know it-
Yeah I live for little moments like that

I really enjoy this song's message...sweet and humorous all at the same time. So I concocted my own list of moments I live for as it pertains to Noah and Anna.

I Live for Little Moments Like This...

Noah's foot bobbing as he sits beside me watching his shows
Noah kissing me on the nose after he bonks me on the nose
Noah laying still for me to tickle his back
Anna's smile when she recognizes me in the morning
Noah just laying a big hug on me...just because
Noah wrapping his skinny arms/legs around me when I carry him
Watching Anna eat and sleep at the same time in my arms
Kissing Anna's porcelain white cheeks
That moment when Anna is soothed from crying when I pick her up
Noah playing with my hair when I carry him
When Noah stops what he is doing/playing to come kiss Anna
Watching Anna sleep
Watching Noah at school when he doesn't know I'm there
Seeing how excited Noah is to see Anna in the morning
Watching Josh and Noah hug
Listening to Josh read to Noah at bedtime over the monitor
Listening to Josh pray with Noah at bedtime over the monitor
Listening to Noah pray
When Noah reminds us to pray at dinner
When Noah gets mad b/c he doesn't want me laughing at him
The look on Noah's face after he falls down...his not knowing whether or not to get upset
The rectangle shape Noah's mouth makes when he bawls
Noah attempting (and botching) new word pronunciations
How Noah tells me ahead of time which monster trucks lose their tires or catch on fire

I love how you are always reflecting. We may laugh at your "lists" and how you love to create them, but think 5, 10, 20 years from now it will be so awesome to look back at all of these "reflections".
