Change of perspective

I used to think that nursing a baby would be so boring. What, you just sit there and do NOTHING?? ick.

But now I get it.

You don't do nothing.

You look at your baby. You examine every millimeter of his face. You notice the constantly changing expressions and wonder what he is thinking. You play with the tiny notch in his ear. You gaze at his feet, with their miniscule toenails. You stare at every hair on his head, marveling that he was grown inside of you, down to the last perfect eyelash. You watch his hands fold delicately in each other. You tickle his chin, just for the joy of seeing a response.

It's anything but boring.
