The Nod Off

Okay, so I sit in the nursery about 8ish [p.m.] with my sweet baby girl who seems to be full of energy as if the morning sun has come again. I look so sweetly into her eyes and see such the innocence, such the hopes for a life of joy, prosperity, love and self-acceptance. AND then, I see her little eyes squinting as she rubs them with the backs of her hands. I know, I am her Mom, but, the moments as such are cherished with such intensity and sadness because as bad as I want to rest and understand the importance of her rest- I just simply can not get enough of the laughter, the cry for Mommy to come quickly and anticipating her every need. Call me crazy-but as a new Mom, what is the one thing that makes your heart sing?
