I have a long list of things to do, and SJ does not want to nap. The list gets longer and longer as he avoids those precious moments for both him and I to recharge, but when he doesn't want to nap I know something is bothering him.
Having a baby, I can sometimes feel helpless. If something is bothering SJ, for example if a tooth is coming in, he can't tell me. It hurts my soul that I don't know exactly what he needs 100% of the time.
Motherhood is magical in the way that it teaches you to love others so fully, but hard because you love your kids so much you just want to take away all their pain and sadness but you can't.
Talking to my mom, I realize that feeling doesn't ever go away. No matter how old your kids are, you always want to carry their burden for them if not at least with them. "It never ends," she says. Great. Ha-ha.
XO,
Mrs. Measom
