What I love about putting Justin down for a nap

getting a good, long cuddle from him
having a quiet, happy moment together
feeling the side of his forehead against my cheek... i love his warm, smooth skin
rocking him in the rocking chair, the same chair my mom used to rock me
hearing "smack smack" while he sucks his thumb
feeling the contentedness he feels as he holds his blankies close
watching him rotate his blankies around his hands
hearing him giggle as i lightly tickle his hands and feet
combing his soft hair between my fingers
singing his pre-bed song: "Jesus Loves Me" to him, which I need to hear as much as he
feeling him secure in my arms
Lord, help me to soak up these moments.
