He falls asleep cupping my cheek with his pudgy little hand, tiny contented snores escaping his nose, his lips fluttering and sucking in search of his long lost friends, my breasts.
Calmed by his warmth, I think about my latest round of parental introspection, my quest for maternal perfection.

Over at Parenting I’m talking about surprises.
For Valentine’s Day I was surprised with a fabulous day of love, topped off with a nice case of food poisoning. Dan and I are both laying around in yorchville today and I’m afraid to eat anything because I don’t care to know what it will [...]
We had our prelude to Black History Month in January where we learned all about Martin Luther King, Jr. and how to get people to be nice by giving them a sharp civil rights to the kidney.
