Tonight I escaped up to my bedroom for a few minutes after Joseph had fallen asleep. I had just bathed him, massaged him with lotion and put him in some clean Jammies for the night. My Mum picked up these adorable Jammies for twenty-five cents. They are cozy and when Joseph wears them he reminds me of a little lumberjack. Tonight I was enjoying the way his little body melted into mine. As I sat on my bed I could feel his little breaths on my neck as he cuddled his head into my shoulder. His chubby feet brushed my lap and I couldn't resist rubbing them. They were so soft on my finger tips. I couldn't believe how much room this once tiny baby took up snuggled on my chest. I sat there with my eyes closed for just a few minutes and soaked up the moment. Just as I started dozing off, I heard a little voice calling for me downstairs. "Mum, where are you?" said the little voice as it went and checked each room. Just as Camilla made it to the stairs I arrived at the top and smiled at her. I feel so privileged to be called "Mom", and it makes me feel special when my kids search our house calling for me. I hope they will always find safety in my arms and in our home.
