One day Ignacio will realize that animals can live in other places besides our house or the zoo, like their natural habitat called "the wild."
One day he will know that you don't have to be scared of the drain in the tub because you can't slide down it.
One day Ignacio will learn that you can voluntarily go to sleep by closing your own eyes rather than staring until they close on their own from exhaustion.
One day he will learn that Big Bird is nothing more than a lifeless feathered costume.
One day he will know that not everyone is "nice" even if you call them that.
One day he will understand that wind is simply air that makes things move.
One day Ignacio will want to sleep in every day and we will be begging him to get up and get going.
One day I will be washing his socks and realize that he is almost a man as I recollect when his socks barely fit on my hand.
One day he will have an "owie" that I won't be able to make "all better" and that will be okay.
One day when flipping through the pages of his books he will actually be reading the words to me.
One day I will watch his back as he walks away from me to start his own journey....hoping he looks back one more time.
One day I will look back on these moments in my life and thank the stars, moon and comets that I was there and not anywhere else.
