When Mama becomes the baby

Ever tried sleeping on the lap of a 3.5y.o? Peanut was watching TV with his pillow on his lap and I just decided to rest my head there for a brief moment. Peanut rested his palm lightly on my shoulder and asked gently, like the way he would speak to his little brother, "Mama, are you a baby?" "Yes, I'm a big baby." When I lifted myself up, he asked me to stay laying down. So sweet, so lovely, so blissful. Strongly recommended instant pick-me-up therapy for sleep-deprived parents - who have been up for 6 out of 7 nights, changing bed sheets, cleaning a kid with pee-soaked pjs and finding it hard to fall asleep after the activities. It's just so liberating being a parent - you can so totally function even without satisfying basic needs! Oh did I forget to mention that on the one night when Peanut stayed dry, I stayed up most part of the night waiting for Peanut to say, "mama, my pyjamas is wet."
