As I was lying (laying?) in my bed this afternoon, trying to take a nap and listening to Jonas in his room, "trying" to take a nap (talking up a storm more like it), I just thought how much I love him. He was so cute today. He wanted me to sit next to him when we watched TV. He wanted to rub his cheeks against mine a lot today while hugging me, and he just talked to me a lot. We talked during breakfast and lunch and as we played. It was just adorable. Wow - I love him!
So it got me thinking. In 5 1/2 weeks this will all change. Jonas won't have all the attention on him anymore - he'll have to learn to share it. And I just wanted to hug him at that moment. I wanted him to know that I love him so much. After 1 1/2 hours of him in his bedroom - I don't think he was in his bed the whole time because somehow some of his toys got in his bed with him - I decided he wasn't tired enough for a nap.
We took pictures instead. I don't have a ton of pictures of me and him, since I'm always behind the camera, so I needed this. I just love him, and I'm going to try to enjoy it being just him and me for the next 5 1/2ish weeks, no matter how unpleasant I feel.

I've been trying to do this as well! Some days I feel like I succeed and other days I just want to lay in bed and be left alone! I'm sad and excited for the change.
ReplyDeleteMost definitely! Take advantage of that one on one time! Wow! I love that picture!
ReplyDeleteOh I'm glad you took that picture! Some of my favorite photos are those with me and the kids. Reminds me how much I really do love them.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, things will change when little baby sister comes along. But you just make her part of the fun and love of the family relationship! You'd be surprised by how much your love for Jonas and multiply and multiply.
