midnight meeting
Fall snuck up on us here and things got really cold, including our house and Wy's nursery. I got up in the middle of the night scrambling for more covers but didn't think about my innocent little boy in the next room.
He didn't let me forget for long. I ran in remember how cold it is to find my his little icicle fingers reaching for me.
I pulled him from his crib and did eveything I could to share my selfish heat I had gathered earlier. To my surprise he welcomed the snuggle clasping to the beloved stanky blanky in one hand and tucking the other frozen chubby hand into my neck.
There we stayed, rocking and sharing a snuggle in the dark. Something that we had both long forgotten about. Long ago are the days of our nightly visits--my baby is growing and now doesn't require such care. He can feed himself, walk and sometimes when he gets lucky he can communicate in the big world he lives.
And even though he doesn't necessary need as much from me and we both rejoice in that fact, we both like it when we get the chance to give and recieve a little extra love and remember what got us here. Okay maybe he doesn't get that sentimental about it but I am a mommy that's my job : )
