When Veer was really little and wanted to nap he would climb in my lap and hold onto my neck. In a sitting position and holding me tight, he would sleep. The rhythmic humm of his breathing calmed me down... It is no easy feat to take care of a BABY! Not long after, he became a no-lap baby - did not climb laps and slipped down on bed to sleep...
Of late things have changed and he wants to be held - all day long... While we do pick him up whenever we can, we are going through tantrums and loud bouts of crying and getting angry if he is not held.. but night times are still the same... no lap sleeps! until last night when after his bed time schedule and slipping down my lap on the bed, Baby Vivi decided to climb back in... With his sleepy eyes and cute dino night suit he climbed on to mommy dear's lap... held me neck with his warm hands and snuggled me... once again his breathing calmed me down.. and I held him like that - long after till he was asleep, with my phone ringing in front of me.. with my tummy calling for food... we just held on..
Guess a mother needs her baby as much as her baby needs her... As I sit down and write this down I can still feel the happiness I felt last night <3
