Tip Toes

Every night before I go to sleep, I quietly tip-toe into Caleb's room to hear his sweet gentle breathing, smell his Caleb scent, see his little body curled up in sleep, and to whisper a prayer of gratitude, and protection, for this little angel of mine, sent from above, and entrusted in our care. And during nap time, every now and then, not quite as often, but when the house gets extra quiet because Caleb's been sleeping for a long time, I tip toe in, and because it's daylight out. I snap a picture. To store away, so that years from now, when my baby boy, isn't so little anymore, I can pull it out, smile and remember, the sounds, the scent, the look, of my baby boy who isn't so little anymore.

and those chunky little thighs, still there, and make me smile everytime.
