Comforter

I don't have any pics of this special moment, but I did have to share....

Bobby was late getting home tonight, so I put Thomas to bed by myself. I will post more about our evening later, but I just wanted to put it out there that Thomas, Josh, and I were home alone. Once I didn't here anymore out of Thomas' room, I decided to take me a nice, long, hot shower. Thomas never wakes up once he goes night-night, right?

Who knows if it was gas, a bad dream, or him feeding off of my uneasiness of being home without Bobby after dark... but whatever it was, he woke up! Just after I was all soaped up and had shampoo in my hair, of course! So, I rinsed off myself and my hair, dried, and halfway dressed and made it to his room as quickly as I could. When I first heard him he was in the "sleepy whine", but by the time I made it to his room, it was game-on! Poor guy was a mess. I picked him up, grabbed his favorite blanket and a paci, sat down in the rocking chair, and he completely melted in my arms. What completely amazes me is that he went from hysterical to comfortably asleep in my arms in a matter of about 30 seconds.

How is it that I can comfort someone this much? I am a 28 year old that is still scared of the dark, and I can comfort my son from something that had him so upset just by wrapping my arms around him. I felt like I could have rocked him all night long- it was such a sweet moment. Finally I did lay him back in his crib and rubbed his back until he settled in a comfortable position and there wasn't so much as a whimper.

Perfection... he is just perfection!
