In the midst of the chaos I’ve been complaining about, I’m trying to take comfort and solace in the small, fleeting moments. This morning as C and I were getting ready for work, L.A. was standing in his crib dancing back and forth as he does most mornings. I glanced into his room as I passed and saw his giant smile as he shifted his weight from one foot to the other joyfully. I couldn’t help but go in and kiss him good morning.
As I approached his crib, he reached out his hand and started rubbing my belly, something he’s been doing the past few days. He looked up at me and smiled and said “Mama?” and I nodded my head and said “there’s a baby in Mama’s belly”.
In a moment I hadn’t anticipated, he reached his little arms around my waist and gave my belly a hug while resting his head gently there. Before backing up completely, he planted a nice sloppy kiss on my belly and then looked up at me with his sweet smiling face.
My life may be crazy at the moment, but it sure is better than any life I could have dreamt.
