This morning I could feel Shamus was starting to stir in bed next to me. I went into my mommy/"me" mode, which is; I am still tired and I am trying to squeeze the most time out of staying asleep as I can and yet still be aware enough of my one year old. While my eyes were shut, I felt this tiny little hand touch my cheek so gently. Then I felt two tiny lips touch my lips. He usually gives open mouth kisses and this time it was closed mouth and so sweet and tender. I opened my eyes and he gave me another kiss and a third kiss. I closed my eyes to savor the moment. I can only guess what was going through Shamus' mind when I closed my eyes. For in the next moment instead of the gentle touch of his hand I felt the sting of a slap against my cheek. "Get up Mom!" So that little bit of "Me" was slapped away and replaced by full time Mommy mode.
