He eats and then promptly goes back to sleep. it really is wonderful. it's wonderful that he eats so well. it wonderful that he drifts off to sleep so quickly. but today i was just contemplating how wonderful it is to have him in our life.
it's 5:05am. I woke to feed him at 3:50am and i can't go to sleep. not because of lack of sleepiness or that my baby isn't still. it's because i want to stare at him. i want to kiss his cheeks and rub his hair. i want to document in my mind how much he looks like his daddy. i want to learn from his stillness and attempt to become. to become the mom that he needs me to be. i want to soak him in.
it is truly amazing how our children teach us. for me it is the quiet moments of listening to them. even when they are not or cannot talk.
i am one lucky momma to have such sweet babies who are patient enough to teach me.
thanks e and g. i am forever grateful.
