Hi Berries,
I loved reading your answers on my previous thread:
What you like about your child
A couple of members mentioned that reading positive comments about parenthood lifted their spirit, because most of the social discussion around parenthood tends to focus on negative aspects, like feeling tired and having a lot of home chores. I thought that sharing beautiful moments with our children (exceptionals one or little every day moments) could open another fun conversation.
Here are two of my favorite moments with my 7 mo boy:
-
Bastien is now a master of rolling from his back to his side. Before we put him to sleep, my husband and I often place Bastien in the middle of our bed and we lay down on each side of him. He rolls toward one of us, giggles, takes a little hug or kiss on the forehead, then he rolls to his other side and does the same with the other parent. He goes back and forth for a couple of minutes, giggling and smiling, like the cutest baby ever hihi. This is one of my favorite moments of the day, just the three of us

Bastien loves music and singing. One day, after weeks of falling asleep easily, he suddenly needed to be rocked to sleep again (he was teething). One night, he was exhausted from waking up more often than usual. It was still really dark outside. I remember I opened a night light and started to rock him, while signing one of his favorite lullaby. When he realized I was signing, he stopped crying, smiled and he felt asleep with a little grin on his face. I was so touched that he liked my signing, my heart was filled with joy and love
