Project 365::249

{Lucas, you are getting a little cold today and are quite miserable. I picked you up and put you on and you instantly melted into my back and went to sleep. I carried you for hours and did all the household chores as you slept. Yeah, my shoulders hurt a little, but parenting is hard work- -(mentally and physically) after all. No matter how much I question (or other people question) my mothering decisions, this has always felt right to me. It definitely won't always be this way. I don't think that when you are grown you will come to me and say that you wished that I had worked more, carried you less or made you sleep in your own room. This is just what works for us. Inspired to say how I feel by this post---I too, hope you always on some level remember what this feels like....... Love, Mommy}
