in between the hair pulling, the constant babbles, the tears, the giggles...there are moments in this role of motherhood that never cease to take your breath away...

when i can't get camden to give into those dreams that await him, when he is fighting ever so hard to keep those wide eyes ever wider, i tickle his face....i let my finger move across his forehead, down his nose, over and around his eyes...and he will reach up for my face and as i lower it down, he begins to tickle mine too...until he gets tired enough to shut those little eyes of his...and give in. it is a moment like this that time stops for me....when i forget to breathe...when all that matters is that little body cuddled gently in my arms....
