I wub you
I awake to the tinkling of raindrops against my window. I see the trees, their bark a drenched, dark brown. The autumn leaves are more vibrant when wet. Clear drops of water cling to their undersides, until a falling drop shakes it off, replacing it.
I turn away from the window and look at the baby sleeping next to me. Each inhalation is accompanied by snorting sounds and a tiny snot bubble popping out of one nostril. Placing my hand gently on her forehead, I smile to feel that her temperature is now normal. I think of our night together. Her waking often because the snot was too thick to breath through. Me offering my breast each time because I knew it would comfort her and lull her back to sleep. I pull her close to me.
My youngest son now enters the room. “It’s seben o’cwock!” he announces, coming to my side of the bed. He looks at me and the baby snuggled in the covers and with a visible shiver says, “It’s fweezink!” and begins to climb into bed. I help him in and he snuggles up next to me. Then, looking up with those wide blue eyes he says, “I wub you mom.”
I squeeze him tight and kiss his forehead. There is nothing better than morning snuggles and freely given I love you’s from a child.
EDWARD YOUR A HAMSOME GUY ALL IM ASKING IS FOR BELLA TO HAVE THE BABY AND PUT...
Awwwwwwwww! What a sweet boy! Give them all hugs for me, ok?
Those are the best moments!
O, how I miss the days of snuggling and “I wuv u mama” from my own little ones. Now the best I can get is snuggles from my fluffy prima-donna kitty cats.
You’re right - there is nothing better!!
You’re so right. I wish my morning had started half as nicely, and I hope the rest of your day is just as good.
This was the most precious little story and I’m glad the baby is better - well at least that the fever broke. Have a good day.
Right, that got me all sniffly!
Awww, how sweet! You’re making me really, really miss my kids this morning. Give yours a hug for me, ok? :)
What a great moment.
Certainly those are the moments that make it truely apparent how blessed we are.
The other night I climbed in bed and realized how much I miss co-sleeping. I found myself looking forward to the next time my girl is sick…and I can use it as an excuse to sleep with her. There is just something about sharing your bed with a baby, that just blesses your heart forever.
Sniff. I can so relate! :) That was a beautiful capture of a precious moment.
You capture the picture and feelings of the moment perfectly.
hey what does ”i wub u” means
It’s, I love you, in kid talk
