New perspective on some of the challenging aspects of parenting...

Some of the late nights are very tough. The fatigue wears on you. There are times, when I selfishly look at my son and beg him to sleep or I ask him to not require that he be held so often.

Then, this morning at 6 am, I had a flash.

At some point, in the not too distant future, he's probably not going to want to be held by me. In fact, he may even run in the opposite direction. Better cherish these moments of when he really wants me to hold him, no matter how tired I am.

Sometimes a change in perspective is all it takes.
