Naptime Sweetness

Edward rarely resembles my sweet baby anymore. He is working hard at developing his tantrum skills. Usually, I get sick of him and decide to put him down for an early nap.

The instant his door closes, the screaming stops. I hear "On, on!" Edward helps me turn on his night-light and white noise machine. Then he snuggles in while we sit down. I sing his song while my adorable boy tells me where my nose, eyes, mouth, ears, and head are. After I lay him down, I always say the same things. Today, I heard them before I could open my mouth. "Goo-nie. Uv-oo. Byeeee!"

It was so hard to not go back and give him a big hug. But I really needed those two hours without screaming, yelling, and hitting. So I just smiled as I left.

I'm glad that I still have the naptime sweetness to remind me how much I love this guy.
