I had so much to do: laundry, unolading the dishwasher, folding clean clothes. There were other things I wanted to do: read a short story, start a book sent to me by Kathy, write the next installment of my unnamed novel.
I didn't do any of them.
He needed me. He couldn't sleep. I don't know if it was gas bubbles or just neediness, but he needed me. So I held him as he slept. Kept him still when he began to wiggle. I just held him and basked in the delight of being able to do just that.
He's in his crib now, sleeping. Inwe woke and broke the spell.

Hey we did that today too! (Well today as in Thursday but it's 1am here and even later where you are so technically yesterday...aaaww gawd I need to be asleep. I babble when I'm tired. Ok what was I saying?) Isabelle wouldn't go down with me next to her in bed like usual for her nap so I wrapped her up and held her in my arms while she slept. And stared at her little face and her eyebrows and her little eyelashes and on and on...
