In all of the uncertainty, stress, and hectic days that are part of motherhood, it can sometimes be difficult to remember the moments that make it all worth it. I call these magical mommy moments, and I want to try and post at least one of these a week - sort of a pick-me-up post, I guess.
We have been sleep training E, and recently bed times have been much (VERY much) less stressful. He was relaxed after finishing his bedtime bottle and we were able to just snuggle in the chair for awhile. I was singing to him, and he rolled over onto his side and snuggled into me. His eyes closed and he got a soft smile on his face. That alone was enough to melt my heart. Then he opened his eyes up, made eye-contact with me, and started chattering quietly. After a few seconds he closed his eyes again and snuggled back down.
Happy sigh. Of course, a few minutes later he popped up ready to play again. Hey, it can't last forever, right? It was nice to be able to slow down for a few minutes and just enjoy some peaceful quiet time with my little man. He is truly my own little angel, and I am so grateful to be his mommy.
