Right now I am savoring the most precious commodity to a stay at home mom....a complete lack of noise. I only hear my keys tapping away as my 5 month old sleeps next to my bed, and my 4 year old is off to a movie with grandma. It is so beautiful to hear nothing. Don't get me wrong, my children laughing makes me all warm and fuzzy, but there is just something about being allowed to actually finish a thought in your own head that reminds you of what it was like before the little noise makers were born. The funny thing is, I usually think about my children when they are quiet enough for me to think. It's kind of a weird thing.
Today Olive is enjoying being held early 100% of the time since I do not have to do anything for Zoe. She seems more at peace, and has even put her head on my shoulder. I caught her doing that right before her nap, she was looking up at me, very sleepy, with her head on my shoulder. Those are the sweet moments in life that you can think about when the room is silent. I enjoy this silence.
