Today, for the first time since regularly breastfeeding Sam (which was more than 6 mos. ago), I took a nap with him.
What a joy!
Of course, first i had to "run him down" a little. Just cuz he was yawning here and there and rubbing his eyes doesn't do it anymore. He had to watch a little Super Grover on Sesame Street, drink a whole sippy of juice, grab clumps of fur out of Zap, play with a beaded bracelet i've never worn, and all in all, run out of steam.
But once he did........ there can't be anything closer to the sheer and utter calmness and love i feel when i'm lying next to my baby, listening to his breathing, watching his little face twitch into a random smirk or smile, feeling his body get warmer. I snuggled into him and relaxed, as though there were no laundry build-up in the basement, no overdue (or DUE) bills, no couch cushions to re-cover because of our crazy dogs.
Just me and Sam. Ah.
Oh yeah... and then 2 hours later, i find him half giggling, half whining in this position in his playpen. He looks BROKEN! I want to say he is just a 'bendy baby,' but he was clearly stuck. Of course i had to take a picture of it before helping him!
