Things To Do Today

Laundry

Dishes

Remember:
that this moment is just that- a moment that will pass and fall into memory

the way this child feels is your arms- the warm heft against your skin

the perfect rose-colored arch of her upper lip

the gentle slope of her lashes

the dark hair, so fine it looks like down, like the feathers of a baby crow


Don't forget to listen to her breathe

Ahhhhhhh, I miss you! Enjoy her, smell her, suck her up inside you while you can because they grow so fast!

I'm suffering the dreaded "all the kids are sick at the same time" syndrome- I just needed to remind myself to take a few moments to enjoy the baby's babyhood while it lasts. :)
