Sleep

During the late afternoon Layton fell asleep while nursing. He already had his long afternoon nap so I knew that he would only sleep for a little while. Since Dallin and Mandy were playing nicely (thank goodness) in the living room, rather than lay Layton down in his bed I decided I would just lay down on my bed with him. Somewhere between enjoying the soft comfort of the bed, feeling his tiny warm body against mine, and smelling the sweet baby smell wafting up from his almost bald head, I must have fallen asleep too. The next thing I remember is feeling a little hand on my cheek and hearing a squeal of delight. I open my eyes and see this cute smiling face only inches from my own.


When you wake up to a little face like that, how could you be anything but happy?
