Do you, moms...?

Do you, moms...
...whisper and hush-hush while the baby naps?
...tell babysitting-Mother detail-by-detail instructions to: bath your baby, put on lotion, apply here and not there, give teething meds, read this book and not that book, sing this song not that song two times and not three...and call five minutes later?
...tip toe around the house.
...have several hours to shop by yourself and shop in a hurry dashing all around, checking your purse for that thing you can't pinpoint that you're sure you're missing and talking all the while in that hushed tone?
...allow your baby to continue napping even though friends want to see him, and don't feel an ounce of guilt over it?
...watch your baby play with measuring cups and wish your toys were that simple and fun too?

Do you, moms? I do.

I do (whiperhushwhisper)....

Me too. Lovely. That's everyday life as lyric poetry.
