Haven is just the perfect baby - BUT he's pretty bad at napping. He only takes 3 naps a day and they are 30 minutes, one might be 45 minutes. He used to finish naps in his swing and now when he wakes he screams! It's so hard for him to be soothed. By late afternoon Haven is SO tired. So.... after days of bad napping and trying different things I thought maybe I needed to be a little tougher. Let him fuss more when he wakes after only 30 minutes, hoping he'd get back to sleep. This has been really hard. After hearing him fuss for a few minutes I went in, scooped him up, and rocked him. He melted in my arms and fell asleep. He never does this so I had Jeff take a picture. I loved rocking him while he slept on me for 20 minutes. I kept kissing his head. Smelling him. Praying over him. And just loving those 20 precious minutes.
Sweet moments like this make you forget about the hard day you're having.
