My Perfect Baby

Sweet Pea,
Every night I nurse you around 10:30 or 11pm. You've already been asleep since 7:30 and really don't need to eat then in order to sleep through the night, but you DO nurse really well and you are so cute and snuggly after that I just can't quite bring myself to give up this feeding yet. As you fall asleep in my arms I whisper to you that you are my perfect, perfect baby. And then, every night, I wonder whether I'll regret this someday when you are doing something that isn't perfect. I hear your "terrible twos" voice already: "But Mo-OM you said I was perfect. So why do I have to say please, clean up my toys, eat my veggies, brush my teeth etc" But then I decide that even though your behavior or choices might not always be perfect, you will still always be my perfect, perfect baby...and I will always love you no matter what.
Mommy
