Some days, I am struck by this...
these beautiful children,
entrusted in my care.
How much I adore them.
Preston fell asleep yesterday in his high chair.
I tucked the big kids in for quiet time,
I picked him up so gently.
I carried him upstairs to my room,
where I snuggled him in the crook of my arm,
nursed him,
and
we both took a little nap.
I woke up before him,
thinking of all the things needing my attention,
in this quiet-right-now house.
I looked at the sweet face of my
almost-one year old-boy,
and I decided,
that we needed this snuggle time.
because he won't be my
almost-one year old-boy for long...
he falls asleep in his high chair often...
