Every once in awhile you have those moments where you wish time could just stop until you are ready for it to begin again. Today I had one of those moments. When Nathaniel was just a baby and still nursing he used to fall asleep on me all the time. I loved looking down at his sweet face while he slept. Most of the time I was never in a rush to do anything since he was the only child. I could just sit there and watch some DVRd show while he slept. I knew that was precious time and cuddling him that way wouldn't last forever.
Once he started crawling, then walking and eating all kinds of other stuff he had no interest in relaxing. That boy is on the move constantly. He doesn't ever just fall asleep and cuddle on the couch or anything.
Today he was a little more cuddly on the couch. He kept crawling on me and playing tackle then running off, then coming back... but at one point he crawled up on me and just laid there. I thought it would last 20 seconds... but then I heard a little snore. He was asleep laying on top of me. I was so happy. I laid there and held him wishing I could get that every day. Just feeling his breath and holding his little hand. It was almost his naptime so I knew I needed to move him to his crib for a real nap... but I definitly took my time getting him there.
Maybe it was his early Mother's day gift for me :)
