Cuddle To Sleep

Last night was a difficult one... Robin is teething and was crying loud almost every hour. The day started in a very tiring mode, but we all got into our normal routine and I actually got some work done. On days like this I am so thankful that my job allows me to have a home office. The more I worked, the more fresh I felt. I finished just before Robin and papa reached home in the evening. Once Robin saw me, he gave me a wonderful monkey hug and I felt so content to spend the evening playing games with him – cutting fruit salad, arranging magnetic puzzles and finally preparing some meals like ice cream with carrot and egg or cabbage with grapes. He even served some to Nana and Ma on Skype (his Bulgarian Grandparents). Cooking toys are definitely his favorite for quite a long time already and I love it how he simulates eating and drinking!

Then my favorite part of the day came, when Robin finally agreed to sleep. Since he was born, he tries to defy sleep because there are so many other more fun things to do. As usual he wanted to sleep with papa and once they lied next to each other, he settled comfortably around his arm and gave him such a big fat kiss and a blissful smile full of trust. I was swallowing every moment with my eyes, even though Raju was telling me to go and do my other evening activities. Robin was babbling and practicing all the words he knows. Raju tried again to teach him “pani” – water in Nepali. Still Robin kept saying his favorite “ta!”. I stayed with them and felt my strongest moment of thankfulness in the day. Cuddling to sleep is definitely one of my favorite parts of the day with my boys where papa-son love shines to its best.

What are your favorite moments of the day, where nobody can steal that overwhelming feeling of happiness and everything else can wait?
