Fleeting Moments

July 28, 2011

Nap time.

It’s fleeting around these parts.
Every day it becomes a bit less consistent,
and I realize it’s only a matter of time before it stops all together.
Like clock work, half way through his nap,
Baby W wakes up crying and looking around the room for his Momma.
He spots me, whines until I curl up next to him,
and then closes his eyes, usually puts his arm or leg over me
and drifts back to sleep. 
He always makes sure some part of our bodies are touching
that way I can’t sneak away without him noticing.
And yesterday, he wanted to be REALLY sure
I didn’t escape our mid-nap cuddle session.
So he threw his entire body on me
and fell fast asleep.
 You’re not going anywhere Momma.
I love this boy and his sweaty bed head.

    i LOVE snugglin' with my babes…. i usually go up and get my daughter around 5am and bring her to my bed just to snuggle.. hear her breathe… its just such a perfect moment to be close… b/c you're right- its not gonna last forever. My almost 4yr old son can't sit still long enough for me to hold him close like that anymore. glad we had those moments when we did.

    Hw cute!!!!! It sucks in a way that mama can't get anything done but moments like that will most likely not happen when they get older.

    I used to be upset when my two year old wouldn't let me do anything but I later realize I better embrace every second of it because they grow and become more and more independent everyday. Cherish the moment.

    So sweet…. I have an 8 year old that still does this on occasion at bed time. However, sometimes instead of calling for me to come to him, he'll just get up, come to my room and crawl in bed with me. Then he'll throw his arm over me, pat me, then fall right to sleep. I know someday soon, I'll miss that.

Most of the time, I end up stuck like this too… 🙂 Sometimes I wish that I could just get back to what I was doing before, but then I think about how in no time he will be grown and snuggle time will be gone forever.

    It sounds obnoxious but secretly I LOVE that he wants to nap w me:)

    I LOVE these pictures Ashley!! Last night Baby B woke up in his crib crying. I go in and he reaches up for me. I grabbed my favorite blanket of his, wrapped it around him and cuddled him in our rocking chair. Only to feel a warm sensation on my tummy. My little love pee'd all over me and didn't even mind doing it. 🙂 He is only 8 months…so I'll forgive him…this time.

    That's so sweet! My little guy likes to snuggle too. Every time he wants to rock or get in bed with me I cave, because I know that this won't last forever. He won't always want to snuggle with me, especially when he's a sweaty teenager who would rather snuggle with a girlfriend. lol I'll take whatever I can get until then though.
