Faces

Last night after one or two rounds with the crankies I sat down on our bed and Husby brought Toby in to me. We sat on our bed playing with little blue penguin and bouncing a little then after a while he reached for my face. He likes my face and he likes my glasses. This is usually very painful for me! So last night when he reached for me I took my glasses off and put them to one side. He reached up and put his palm on my cheek for a second and then just looked at me. His face was merely inches from mine and we were just sat there looking into each other's eyes. We passed several minutes in this way and I don't know how I managed to keep the tears of joy and love from spilling over. Then he saw little blue penguin again and started chatting to him.

But for those few minutes I was the only thing in his world. He was as lost in my eyes as I was in his. For those few minutes the only thing that existed was mummy. For those few minutes I had the undivided attention and love of my seven month old. Face to face staring deeply into each other's eyes I fell in love with my little boy all over again. I didn't know there was room for anymore love...
