Of boobs and books

Baby's bedtime routine begins at 8pm when he gets a long bath and then milk direct from my udders. I will sing to him and talk to him softly about his day, my day, and how we had spent it together.

Most times he will suckle until he falls asleep in my arms, and then I'll tuck him in.

Tonight we deviated a little. Due to the heat, we decided to give him his bath right after dinner, at 7pm. Then we played in the nursery with the air conditioning on.

Time flies when we are having fun, and I realised with a start that it was already 8.15pm.

No wonder he was starting to rub his eyes and pull at his ears.

i popped out a boob and asked, "Do you want milk milk?"

He grinned so brilliantly and crawled quickly to me, slapped that boob a few times and latched right on while still on all fours.

LOL!

And when he heard me laughing out loud, he joined in. What a warm, fuzzy feeling to hear him chuckle so.

So Awesome Husband turned off the lights and left us to complete the bedtime routine.

Titus is such an awesome, easy baby.

I can't thank my lucky stars enough.

Meanwhile, today we noticed that he would look around for his story books when we say, "Where are your books, baby?"

Once, I hid two of his books under a large plastic tambourine and said,"Let's read some books!". Right away he looked around, spotted them and crawled right over and extracted one of the books from under the tambourine!

What a smart kid!
