Mommy smile

This smile is just for me. He gives it to me often. And it helps when the days are bad. Or when the nights are bad. That's the thing about parenthood: sometimes, the nights are bad, and you really, really want to sleep and you struggle with the fussiness. And he looks at you with that face and you remember why and it's a-ok. He'll sleep, at some point. I plan actually to tease him with it when he's a teenager and only wants to sleep.
