Maritime Museum

Dear Reese,
One day you will be too big to fall asleep on me. But not today. You drift off as we walk through the exhibits of the maritime museum — your first visit. I sit down in the shipwreck room and listen to the simulated sounds of the storm: waves crashing, rain pouring.
Every parent with older kids, when they see me, tells me to enjoy it: these moments, this stage of life. But they don’t need to remind me. You are asleep on my shoulder. You are in my arms. Maybe I’ll miss some moments I should have slowed down for, but not this one.
Love,
Mama
I can’t wait to go to the Maritme Museum!!!
leona fell asleep on me last week and i was like ‘well, everyone’s going to be late to school!’ bec no way i was going to wake her and miss out on that snuggle. i thought my asleep-on-the-chest snuggles were all behind me 🥰🥹
