There was never a child so lovely but his mother was glad to get him to sleep.
~Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nate sleeping—He is probably around 3 1/2 or 4 in this picture.
Sometimes the loveliest part of the day is late at night when all the children are sound asleep. Everything has finally calmed down I can just take a minute to breathe. I took a walk in the cool night air—my cheeks feel rosy. I love that it actually felt like spring today and not summer. I’m not ready for summer just yet. There was a faint smell of wood smoke on the breeze. I love the way houses look at night with warm light pouring from their windows. I imagine families snuggled together inside safe and warm and dreaming.
Daniel zonked out on the couch tonight—age 3 years, 9 months.
Other lovely after-the-boys-are-in-bed things today: listening to my washer and dryer run and folding laundry so that my children have nice clean clothes for school; a little bit of yoga; chocolate milk.
What loveliness did the day bring to you?
