Even though we have sleep trained Mads for nighttime sleep, her naps are still taken on me. For me it is an indulgence and I have no rush to train her for naps yet. These moments are the last remnants of her as a newborn that still needs mommy's embrace. As I head back to work next week I'm just soaking in this Saturday afternoon's quiet little hour as she breaths her milky soft breath on my face while splayed out across my body.
Yesterday I heard this phrase: the seconds crawl by but the years fly by. How true it is. This maternity leave is just too short even though it's been 5 and a half months. Before long, she'll be pushing me away while trying to brush her own teeth. As I look around her quiet nursery as the afternoon light peeps through the blinds, my heart stung of nostalgia.
