Angel Babies

It seems people worry a lot about coddling children in a culture that exploits the loss of innocence and the corruption of youth. A quick look at cartoons today will show you what a cynical and sardonic world view we feed to the hungry young minds of our children. I think the world would benefit so much if we prolong our appreciation for the enchantment and imagination of children. They come to the earth so wise and pure, like little Buddhas or angels. In the West, we stick pacifiers (fake milkless nipples made of plastic) into their mouths and make them sleep in another room in a crib, which might as well be a mile away to a baby. Sleeping next to your baby provides warmth and connection. As adults, some folks feel they suffer from sleeping away from their spouse, why should we expect babies or children to be so different in regards to their parents. I love co-sleeping part of the night. It's really spiritually enriching and bonding. Nothing feels more natural. I also like to indulge in babying my child now and then. I treat him like a baby and coo over him in motherease. I tell him how much I adore him, his eyes, his smile, his toes. I think it's super important for kids to remember the feeling of being a pure innocent being of love and light. Adults thrive when they feel that pure love every now and then too. It feels so fantastic to embody that pure mama or papa love too.
