I think when my baby was really little and I went to a restaurant with a lot of coworkers and had her in a baby carrier on my chest. I knew she was just about to fall asleep so rocked a little while we checked out the menu. A coworker laughed at me and said “she’ll never go to sleep in this noisy place”. Less than a minute later my girl was blissfully asleep and slept the whole meal. I felt like I really knew my daughter and was reminded that I’m the mother. I felt like a real parent!
