There’s something precious about a
sleeping child. Watching one of the kids lying quietly in their beds,
lips pursed, their face in a peaceful expression, gently breathing to
the rhythm of slumber, always dims the days’ frustrations and
challenges. I try to pause during these moments and soak up the
sweetness, because this is what gets me through the rest of the day
when things aren’t so rosy.
Over the weekend I often have the
privilege of sleeping in while Nate watches Si and Allie. When Rowan
wakes up, I’ll nurse him in bed, and he may take another nap while
we lie there together. It’s very cozy and lovely. I so enjoy
watching his little face as he sleeps... He still smiles in his
sleep, and sometimes laughs, and I wonder what his dreams are like.
If you have little ones at home, don’t
pass these moments by. Sear them into your heart so that when your
children are long gone, the memories will remain.
