My weeks are loud and crazy. Avery and Dayton love to run and play. They pull toys all over the house and leave food remnants on the floor. Connor is learning to crawl, but gets frustrated after working at it a long time and gets fussy. The dogs whine in their kennels when they hear I'm awake upstairs. Then, after I let them out, they bark and howl up the neighborhood at the slightest sign of life anywhere around our yard. I usually get a little break during nap time if Connor's schedule matches Avery and Dayton's and they all nap at the same time for a bit. However, this happens far fewer times than I hope for.
On some days, though, I'm treated with a break amidst the crazy. :) At this moment, Avery and Dayton are playing in her room. I can hear them playing which keeps my worries as bay that they're doing something they shouldn't be. ;) Connor, up early as his little body hasn't become used to the time change yet, is ready for a nap. So in the middle of the crazy that is most of my days, I know that the toddlers are playing safely, and I am enjoying quiet time with Connor.
One of the reasons I love nursing my kids until they're a year old is the bonding and sweet moments we share. This is one of those moments I drink in and enjoy because I know they'll be gone all too soon. My handsome baby boy laying across my lap, eating groggily as he falls asleep, his little hand wrapped around my finger, his wheezy breathing as he still hasn't gotten over that cold, these are the moments I love and live for.
My baby boy will be 6 months at the end of this week. Time is going by way too fast. :( So I sit back again and drink in the moment. My sweet baby boy is still a baby, but time is fleeting and soon this stage will be over. So today, in this moment, I'm thankful for a quiet reprieve from the regular madness and gentle snuggles with my son. His life makes mine even more worth living. I love you, Connor.
