not much sleep

going to sleep a bit earlier than usual
and not getting down
the baby spins around
but co-sleeping is a choice we have made
and we are happy with it
it just means coffee in the morning

it means a tough afternoon
but to see the baby happy again
moving around and laughing
after sitting still and complaining
and inconsolable
and not himself

it means everything
and he snuggles me
tugs at my beard
tugs at my chest hair
lay on my arm
sleep sucks on his bottle
