Wy spent the day playing so was actually tired by the time it was bedtime. Woo hoo for that first of all! I never really can tell when he will go right to sleep at night or when he is going to need 10 min of crying to fall asleep. Thankfully 10 min is about the longest he ever needs anymore. But tonight he was actually tired!
So we picked out a couple books and sat in the glider to read a little before sleeping. Wy just sat in my lap with his head leaned back on my shoulder looking at the pictures. Every now and then he would look up at me while I was reading and just stare at me. I love looking down and seeing his little face.
When I put him into bed he grabbed his blanket, opened his mouth for his bobo and just smiled a little as I turned on a little bit of bedtime music to help him drift off.
There is literally nothing that can compare to being a mom and it's not even the big moments that make you tear up; it's the little ones, the every day moments when your heart just bursts with how wonderful it is to have brought someone to special and beautiful into the world and having the privilege to spend the rest of your life watching them grow and learn and love life.
