My son awoke at 5am this morning. I gave him ample time to doze back to sleep, but after a few minutes of fussing, I got up to check on him. I picked him up and snuggled him up. He was antsy at first, but I held him firmly. He settled back next to me and just looked up at me with his big, lovely eyes. I just looked at him and smiled. We snuggled for quite awhile before he fell asleep again. Each time I would open my eyes he would still be looking up at me, until finally he was out.
Though I enjoy my own sleep, in a bed instead of a glider, I couldn't help but think these days are limited. Soon these snuggly mornings will be a thing of the past. Soon my son will be either "too cool" or too busy for cuddling with Mommy.
So, for now, I take hold of these precious moments and cherish them, for always, in my heart.
