One Day

It's been one of those days, dear. One of those days when you throw it down at nap time. One of those days when you're only happy in mama's arms, with her all-natural organic paci in your mouth. One of those days when daddy gets home and I quickly pass you off and run for the shower, just for a moment of peace (it's amazing how long my showers are these days - my moments of respite.)

They say I'll look back and miss these days. Will I?? It's so hard to imagine right now, as I sit here and long for the day when you can use your words, and sleep through the night, and entertain yourself for more than 10 minutes without a reassuring mama-snuggle.

But here I find myself in the first quiet moment of our day, the magical moment when you nurse to sleep on my lap.. and I know that I will miss this. I look down at your peaceful cherub face and admire your wispy blonde hair. I watch your chest rise and fall as I listen to your rhythmic breathing. These are the moments I'll remember and cherish one day; the quiet moments I spent snuggling my sweet, sleeping babe.
