If you added it all up, I’m sure I spent a good two hours slumped over the railing of her crib with my eyes closed, patting her back and praying, for the love of God, that she wouldn’t cry when I made the decision to finally withdraw my hand (gradually, of course, because any mom knows a full-on patting session must first decrease to a slower pat, then slower, then slow plus light, then lighter—until your fingertips are barely grazing their back. Then and only then can you quietly pull away with the chance they won’t realize you’ve dismissed yourself). (via Enjoying the Small Things: Fort Myers Beach
