Asleep

Tonight I watched H fall asleep. He was sweet smelling and clean from his bath and very sleepy. Usually after some snuggling in the rocking chair and a goodnight prayer he gets tucked into bed and left to let the sand man do his work. Tonight I stayed longer to smooth my finger across his hairline, he loved it. His eyes were so heavy he couldn't keep them open. Once he managed to flutter them open just for a moment - enough for him to see that I was still there and I saw a sleepy smile spread across his face. Sweet dreams my firstborn.
