"You Came!"

Dear Laney,

My favorite 20 seconds of every day happen around 4am. You've woken up for your middle of the night feeding, and I can hear you fussing upstairs in your crib. I sneak up there with a bottle and as soon as you see me, you flash this mega-watt smile that says "I threw a party, and you showed up! Awesome!"

At least, I hope that smile is for me, and not just the bottle. In any case, it makes getting up at 4am totally worth it.

Love,

Mom
