Bowen and his beautiful ways. We woke up this morning with him wanting “cozies” and milk followed by watching cars on my phone. He loves staying in bed long after we awaken. It was earlier than usual and I was tired, so I stayed in bed while he played quietly at the lego table. I could hear his little hands and mind at work, while drifting in and out sleep. It was heaven.
Later in the day we took a trip to get a couple overdue vaccines. He and I were fortunate that he fell asleep early for nap. When he woke up it was time to go. I told him calmly that we get to take a car ride to the doctor for shots and he was keen on the whole idea. He asked for a diaper change and patiently waited for me to get his shoes on. He was excited about the ride, and marveled at the outside world as we drove through town. When it was his turn he sat in my lap and nuzzled tightly into my chest. He was completely still, and I felt the trust he had for me in that moment. I could feel that he understood I was taking care of him. It melted me. What an incredible person.
