It hit me today while talking to my friend. There’s just no other way to explain it…I’m addicted.
So I’ve been “working” to end rocking Zack. But, well, it’s not going very well. Sometimes its just easier to rock him to sleep then sit in his room against the crib while he tosses and turns and plays for over an hour.
I guess it’s because I like it. He’s so busy these days exploring and walking that he has no time to just cuddle. Rocking is my way to get that cuddling time in that every mom craves. But it’s also because it doesn’t harm anyone. The only time it sucks is when we’re somewhere that doesn’t have a rocking chair…which doesn’t really happen very often. But at home, it’s no big deal.
I’ve been trying to rock him a little bit and then put him in his crib when he’s almost asleep. The problem…is that it’s always so nice and relaxing that I usually fall asleep, too. And who goes out first? Sometimes I’m not really clear. So then, he ends up sleeping in the chair with me for like 15-20 minutes and my plan fails.
Eventually my rocking days will have to end. But for now, I just can’t help myself. My friend totally called me out on it today, too. She said, “You like it too much, don’t you?” I had to confess that I did.
