A moment to remember

Beau woke up from his sleep this afternoon very grumpy. I picked him up from his cot, taggie held firmly in his hands and with his sleeping bag still on. He nestled into my shoulder and put his head down. I walked out to the lounge room with him so that he wouldn't wake Jasmine, and we sat on the couch. He looked around a bit then lay his head back onto my chest, playing with the loops on his taggie. His breathing became slower, and I felt his eyelashes tickle my skin as they closed. He fell asleep in my arms. I don't know how many more times he'll do that, but it was just bliss.
