This afternoon I got to rock my God daughter Maria. I rocked her while I fed her a bottle before her nap. She will be 2 in March and she is delightful. Almost everyday we spend some time together and it is like having another child without having to ever be the disciplinarian. It must be what it is like to be a Grandma.
Anyway, as I sat rocking her, I rested my head back on the chair and closed my eyes, feeling drowsy. Instantly, I was taken back to a time that seems longer ago than I wish to think. I remembered nursing my own babies and as they nursed, feeling so sleepy and comfortable. It was one of my very favorite times. I would feel many times as if I couldn't even keep my eyes open if I tried. I think it was a gift from God to a sleep deprived mama. He made our bodies so incredible. I love that we have those memories to cherish. The actual events pass much too quickly.
