That was lovely, the essence of parenthood for the first year or two. Then they get attitudes, and it’s all downhill from there…or uphill, depending on how you look at it. Lovely little ficlet.

Awwww. That’s so sweet, and like THX said, lovely. =]]

I remember those nights, but I made myself go to bed, since the baby’s crib was in my room anyway. I love the line about “now he is safe”. I always felt that way, after I checked to make sure he was still breathing. :) (Mother’s worry)
