be still my beating heart

So today Ashley and I were nursing our boys in Brie's room after a walk through the park (the idea being that the girls could play there where we could keep an eye on them, but of course they ran off into the living room to play, with us stuck with boys on breasts), and Sam finished eating and so I burped him, and then after I burped him, I turned him round and held him up to look at me (like I often do) and he looked and me and

SMILED. GRINNED. Smiled HUGELY. At ME.

It was awesome. I'm still riding high on that wave. Oh my blue-eyed boy, I'm in love with you. You're so cool. What an amazing son I have.



I'm telling you, parenting has its rewards.
