Comfort

Dear Ziggy,

Please, do this.

Or even this..

You won’t fall asleep tonight. It’s our fault, we had you out all day and your nap was late. So now you’re not tired. I went into your room a few times to try to get you to go back to sleep. The third time, I was ready to just let you cry for a minute but then I realized there will only be so many moments in your life when I can hold you and comfort you.

I went in, scooped you up, and laid on the bed with you on my chest. We snuggled and then you whispered “eyebrows” and pointed to my eyebrows. You then named every feature of my whole face, including my cheeks (both) and my chin (sometimes you point out that I have two of those, too). I gave you a nightcap (milky) and a new diaper and now I think you might nod off. But if you need me again, I’m here. I love you so much.

Mommy
