It's the little things like waking up extra early on a day off to go hike/trail run a trail with me before anyone else and being the only two people at the waterfall. Then turning around, hiking back down and going over to the next trail for another hour+ of hiking & chatting. It's the little things like how he'll lightly grab my hand and walk right next to me and isn't shy about holding his mom's hand on a hike.
Our time on the trails and the tennis court or golf course or on bikes or paddle boards isn't just about being active, it's about being close and developing our mother/son relationship. By far, my favorite moment was when he went ahead on a trail and when I caught up, he had a heart shaped rock and sticks laid out for me to read:
I no longer have to ask him to keep up. I'm the one keeping up.
Your kid is extraordinary. Show them how much you enjoy every moment together by creating a special video of your own!
