I always think there’s something so special about the connection between a mum and her little boy, especially in those first few years..
Before they really know how to regulate their own emotions, they borrow our calm. They know our voice, our touch, our smell, our presence, we are their safe place.
I love the idea that little boys spend those early years almost living within their mum’s energy ❤️
That’s why little moments like this mean so much to me. Massaging him, tickling his back, playing with his hair, letting him just completely relax with me.
I know he won’t always need me in the same way he does now, the thought of that breaks my heart 😩❤️
But I hope all these little moments teach his nervous system something he carries with him forever,
That he is safe.
That he is loved.
And that no matter how big he gets, Mum will always be home 🫂❤️
