I had a "Top Ten" moment this weekend. By "Top Ten," I mean a moment that you want to cling onto and replay over and over again in your memory. I was riding a mini roller-coaster with my two (soon to be three) year-old son. His squeals of delight combined with unrestrained laughter sent my soul soaring higher than the wooden hills we were climbing. I couldn't get enough of his face. I stared at him the entire time - almost oblivious to the twists and turns we were encountering. He was beautiful and tears filled my eyes knowing that the ride would be over in seconds and that my memory would not be an adequate substitute for the moment.

As the ride came to an end, he cried while pleading with me "Go again, Mommy. Go again, Mommy." If it weren't for the line of people waiting to ride, I would stay on the cramped coaster and ride over and over just to witness his joy.
