I play around on the babycenter.com community site.  Today they had a journal entry idea called “Mama-ku’s”

The idea is to write haiku’s as a mom about your baby.  It was neat.  I wrote these:

Why wont you sleep, love?

You must be just exhausted.

The swing is our friend.

————————————–

My son is hungry.

I desperately want to sleep,

Love gets me up again.

———————————-

His little fingers,

My mind cant grasp how tiny.

Each one is perfect.

———————————

It’s bath time again

You sit and coo while I wash

We both love this part.

Dried and dressed and warm

I hold you close to my heart

Heaven smells this good.

 

They are a lot of fun to write.  You should try it!
