Last weekend, I held you as you fell asleep for your afternoon nap. Usually we are all about getting you to nap quickly and easily, as in no rocking you to sleep. That day, I just felt like you needed some snuggling. Your teeth were coming in, you had a big day, and were fighting the nap. So I rocked you a bit and you feel asleep in my arms almost immediately. As I looked down at you, I had this overwhelming feeling of not wanting to leave. I love you very much, but I'm not really one to sit and hold you for hours, so this feeling kind of surprised me. I didn't have much to do, so I just sat there with you for about 15 minutes.
I don't long for more children - you and Jameson give me everything that I need. I don't want to experience another baby's early days, but sometimes I ache to go back to your baby days. I know this time is going to fly by and one day soon you will be standing in front of me with your hand on your hip, rolling your eyes, and telling me I'm lame. But today, you are content sleeping in my arms and that is all I need.
Love,
Mom
