As he sleeps...

Noah is marathon napping this afternoon as I just checked on him and he is still snoozing. He woke last night fussing and crying around midnight. To most moms that is not unusual, but for me it is unfamiliar territory. Noah has slept through the night since he was 8 weeks old and I can only recall two other times over the past 17 months that he woke up in the middle of the night crying, for this I am truly grateful. But, last night as my husband and mom (who was visiting slept)I entered my crying child's room unsure of what to do. Seems silly, but true. As I held him and rocked him I felt my sweet baby melt right into my chest and I watched him as he drifted back to sleep. I treasured those sweet moments last night as Noah normally is not the cuddling type.
