Takes My Breath Away

My baby turned three-years-old this week, and he still takes my breath away.  As I am sure most any mother can, I am able to clearly recall the day he was born.  It was a quick, easy (if there is such a thing when there are no medications involved) birth.  He was placed on my chest immediately after he was born as the nurses cleaned him.  I can remember being completely elated and my breath was gone.

Three years later, he is still a beautiful little boy, but he takes my breath away for a different reason as well.  He is…well…adventurous, to put it gently.  The child can climb any object that has any semblance of a foot or hand hold.  He has no concept of danger, and, on a daily basis, he will propel himself from a piece of furniture or other object taller than he.

I am convinced that one day he will be an avid rock climber or have a profession where he gets to scale a ladder every day of the week.  Perhaps he will “leap tall buildings in a single bound”.  He is already practicing which, again, takes my breath away.
