The other night, I was nursing Silas to sleep at bedtime. Unlike Ethan, who HAD to nurse to fall asleep as a baby, Silas doesn't always, except for bedtime. Other times, he will fall asleep in our arms. But the other night, he was not particularly sleepy, and actually rather playful. He would lie in my arms and nurse for a few seconds, then stop, then stare at me until I looked down at him (I think I was watching TV), smile, and then continue to drink. A minute later, he'd repeat. Little stinker. He has got Mama wrapped around his little finger. ;) It was so sweet. I kept telling him it was bedtime and he had to go "Night-night". Finally, he stopped nursing altogether and proceeded to smile (HUGE open mouth smiles), and coo and "talk" to me for at least 10 minutes. And then, so abruptly, he just shut his eyes and went to sleep. It was just the sweetest thing. He completely melted me. Wouldn't it be great if we all went to sleep that happy?
May you have many contented sleeps, my sweet Silas. Mama loves you.
