These moments is what I enjoy most with my children…
Having JS snuggling against my chest sound asleep. I can just sit down there or lying down, close my eyes smelling her hair, stroking her head and her back. Just some quiet peaceful moment we shared. Very heart warming. She can listen to my heartbeats, feel my breath over her head and the rising and lowering of my chest when breathing is so soothing to her it’s lulling her into deep slumber.
Even when she’s going to be 4 now and she has grown so tall, she still likes to snuggle against my chest to let me stroke her hair. I don’t have any picture taken on these precious moment. The closest I can find is this
Cradding WH and breastfeed him. Unlike JS, he doesn’t like to snuggle against my chest. He would struggle off after less than 1 minute. When he was smaller, he would cry and protest and now he’s more mobile he would struggle away, climb all over me, poking my eyes, digging my nose and pinching my face. The quiet moment we shared is when I’m nursing him, where I can hold his hand and stroke the side of his head. The feeling is not as close as having him snuggle against my chest… The closest we shared is when I wear him in the sling or when I’m nursing him, but still I cherish these moment.
