Simon when he was just a baby. His newborn onsie was BIG on him! |

Tonight I was feeding Simon and he was more awake than I cared for at 9:00 at night. I'd read him
Corduroy. I also had
Goodnight Moon, but was saving that for when he was really falling asleep. I decided I should sing to him. I started thinking about what I could sing and immediately lost it for a few seconds. Memories came flooding back of when he was just a little baby and I had a time getting him to sleep. I'd rock and sing and rock and sing. Now we've got the routine down pretty good. He gets a bath which cures whatever ails him, then swaddled, then one last bottle, then off to bed. He's usually good from about 9:00 - 5:00. He sleeps like a champ.
So, if I'm this weepy and nostalgic for the days when he was tiny and he's only 11 weeks old now, how bad is it going to be in a year, in 10 years, in 20? Yep, I'm really in for it.
