What do they know, anyway?

"They" say you shouldn't nurse a baby to sleep.


That you should lay them down calm but awake so they can learn to go to sleep on their own.


And we do.


Sometimes.


But I don't think "they" have ever held a sleepy nursing baby...


watching him drift off to sleep all warm, comfy, and content...


and then laid him gently down in his soft snugly bed...


to stand over him and smile and marvel, thanking God for the blessing he is, and that he's asleep!

Who are 'they', anyway? Are 'they' the same people who keep loosing one shoe out in the street?
