Total Relaxation...

 Evie is so busy. She just goes, and goes, and goes, and GOES.  I always see pictures of other people's kids falling asleep in random places, but I have never had Evie just fall asleep like that because there is just too much she is determined to do!  No matter how tired she gets, she just keeps going!  That's why this picture is so unique and special to my heart ;)


We'd had a very busy day that started very early, Evie hadn't been able to take a nap, and she was EXHAUSTED.  Finally we were able to start her bedtime routine, which generally begins with a bath.  I got in the tub with her and she immediately crawled onto my lap and laid down in my arms... and fell asleep.  She was so completely and totally relaxed, which is not a state I see her in too often; I didn't want to move her because she looked so incredibly peaceful! 

 Just one of those sweet moments that makes the late nights and early mornings worth it; I really don't think there is anything better than a sleeping baby face!

Why?


Why do I return? 

Over and over and over again...

Why search for something that never existed here to begin with?

Most of the time I don’t even realize what I’m doing.   

My consciousness can't admit to it.  

Yet a part of me knows...   

Some small piece of me watches as I compulsively beg for connection, approval, acceptance... anything.  

The only honest bit of me is the one I can't bear to face.
