Your post about Adam reminded me of a book that we have. It's called Love you Forever. It's about a mommy and her baby boy who she rocks and sings a song:
I'll love you forever I'll like you for always, As long as I'm living My baby you'll always be.
As he grows, the mom sneaks back into his room at night and rocks him and sings the song. They even get to the point where he is like 30 and she is still sneaking into his room to rock him. I could definitely picture myself doing that and you too! It's a definitely tear-jerker book because it's about the circle of life and how eventually the mommy was too old to rock the son, so the son rocked the mommy! The book is by Robert Munsch. Thanks for continuing to let us share in your family story.
