jack's been teething and sleep crawling, so i've kept him in our bed all night for the past week. the other night, I was doing some work on my laptop while lying next to him. he had been sound asleep for several hours. all of a sudden, i feel this gentle pat on my arm, and he is smiling up at me delightedly. no noise or anything, just this "hey, mama" little pat.

it was about 11, and i usually would instantly try to get him back to sleep but he was so snuggly that we just curled up together and talked and giggled. i was so in love with that baby at that moment that i was dizzy with it!
those moments make it all worthwhile!

Shannon, I remember when you were the not-even-pregnant-yet-overachiever...and this just makes me all warm and fuzzy inside now that little Jack is here snuggling up with you. What a sweet story...I love those moments too! :)

That's so sweet Shannon! I just love it when I can feel the love from my kids. You know, those quiet moments when they want to be with you and just you and not really do or say anything, but just soak up all of the good feelings b/w the two of you. Warm fuzzy feelings!

I was just thinking the exact same thing (with tears in my eyes)! I've only been posting here for a few months, but I've been reading for a long time and was thinking about how time flies. What a sweet, sweet story.

Beautiful. Nothing like those stolen moment smiles that melt your heart.

I think that's part of the magic of being a mother; you know when to stop and savor a moment!! Very sweet.
