darkness
creaking floorboards
the world looks different
through squinted eyes
blindly searching for the doorknob
stumbling towards the crib
thank God for nightlights
"c'mere sweetness"
a small body hugs the pillow
half asleep, trying to stay awake
trying to get him to sleep
please, sweetie, go to sleep
"Andrew's Mommy's baby
Andrew's Mommy's boy
Andrew's Mommy's angel
Andrew's Mommy's boy"
Sleepy eyes open and shut
muscles relax
as he drifts off to sleep
i pick him up
we waltz
dancing our way to sweet dreams
Author notes
Andrew was up every 15 minutes last night. This is what it ended with - a piece of notebook paper filled with scribbles, sprinkled with apple juice (Andrew's contribution).

The GGB is a mom, which is pretty amazing in itself but not unexpected, yanno.
Tee hee. You said the poor guy had a nightmare but maybe it was something else. They're so sweet asleep and can be so frustrating awake. Pretty cute write here Miss Kate, with a little lullaby there in the middle.

Cute~
It makes me miss my mom quite a bit. I haven't been her "Baby boy" in a literal sense for years. Makes me kind of wish those innocent moments could be repeated, but they seem to be just dreams and nostalgia now.
Very good write~
