one handed
April 28, 2008
i am typing with only one hand tonight.
my little boy woke up crying, but nothing seemed to help him calm down. he’d curl onto my shoulder and sleep, but the minute i put him down he’d cry and reach for me.
now he’s in bed next to mama, while daddy is out getting his new game (grand theft auto on sale at midnight). baby snuggled next to me, not making a peep. i stroked his hair for a while and then he grabbed my finger with his plump little fist and drifted off to dreamland.
he still hasn’t let go. and i won’t move my fingers from his grip until he decides to. even if it means typing one handed and taking forever to write this.
i think i’m gonna look back and miss these days.

I have had those hand cramps and have felt the same thing - enjoy the snuggles! (And I hope you get some decent sleep, too.)

Sweet! Even though it usually means I’m getting up in the middle of the night I do love it when my baby girl falls asleep on my shoulder. I agree we’ll miss these days soon!

You will. It’s frustrating when you have to hold them to get them sleep, but it makes you all warm and fuzzy inside.
