I do most of my work in my bed during the day. I lie here, work on the laptop and watch Nathaniel over the video monitor. Watching him while he sleeps is something I cherish. I often have to stop myself from going into his room and giving him a kiss.
Today, I was watching him play on his bed before he falls asleep and I saw him go on all fours and rock back and forth like he’s been doing for a few weeks. But then he rolled on his side and sat up. All by himself. He sat up and grabbed his two little teddy bears and played and played.
I was so amazed that I broke my rule of never going back in and grabbed my camera to take a shot.
And now he sits up all by himself. This kid never ceases to amaze me.
And you were there to see it!
Imagine all those working away from home Mommies who miss these kinds of “firsts”.
That will always be something that I am grateful for, that I could be there.
