Kelly tells PEOPLE about getting to share those moments and having the chance to save video and relive themA single mom checking in on her son during a busy workday captured a sweet exchange.
Kelly Kuabala and her son, Jack, live in Utah. Their doorbell camera provides "a sense of security" for the single mom, who makes the most of all her moments at home with her son.
"An average day for Jack and I consists of waking up, and enjoying my coffee while he enjoys his breakfast. We get dressed and ready for our day, if I'm working. We play a board game or a video game together, and then jet off to school and work," Kelly tells PEOPLE.
"If we are off, we wake up in the morning, and over breakfast, we figure out what fun things we can do together that day. It usually consists of going to the pool, going on a short hike, playing baseball or going to Jack's karate classes together. We'll finish off the day with a bath and cook dinner together."
The proud mom adds, "He is a very spontaneous and fun-loving little boy. He usually decides our days, and I plan them out for him!"

Kelly does spend some time away from home at work, with family members helping to keep an eye on Jack. The little boy was home on one such day, spending time with his grandma, when Kelly said "Hi" through the two-way talk feature on their Ring camera.
"This was not the first time. Occasionally, when I get a notification from my Ring app, I will chat with Jack through the camera if I am not too crazy busy at work," she shares.
The video shows Jack telling mom, "You better be really quick because I really miss you."
"This was the first time he has said something as sweet as he did on this video I saved," she shares. "It was too cute not to save."
Being able to not only share moments like these with her son while she's away, but also be able to save them to relive "means the world" to Kelly.
"Being a single mom and the only active parent in his life, I cherish my time with him just as much. I carry a lot of guilt for working such a demanding career, so to know that he doesn't seem to resent me and wants to spend time with me too makes me feel loved," she admits, adding, "Just as I want him to feel loved, and cherished."
Jack's grandma was busy in that moment, letting the family dog out. When she saw the video of her grandson, she thought it was "precious."
"She said it just melted her heart because she says Jack talks about how much he loves me when I am around, so to hear him saying this made her melt," she adds.
