Always in Motion

As we sat together as a family watching American Idol, I began to ponder what I would blog about tonight. Writing has never been a forte of mine, and honestly it is a little intimidating to think that I am attempting to blog every night.

I just kept thinking, "What will I blog about? Nothing cute or funny or sad has happened. Maybe I'll just skip out on tonight's writing. I'll use my grad work and papers that need grading as an excuse."

As these thoughts crossed my mind another thought continued to occur, "I really wish Cody would get still. Can he not just be still???"

As his little toes kept poking into my legs and his feet kept kicking me over and over again, tonights blog became quite evident......Cody...lol...

I swear I don't think that boy is ever still.

On the few occasions when I have allowed him to crawl into bed with us, I have actually laid awake and tried to count the number of seconds that he can go without moving. In the attempts to count, I don't believe he has ever made it past 20 seconds.

Even as he sleeps he moves.

Never still......always moving.........

I should not be surprised by his inability to remain still. He has always been this way, even before birth....constantly moving.....always in motion.

So instead of telling him to get still, I invited him to snuggle, because I know it won't be long and he will no longer desire to poke me with his toes or press his feet into my legs.
