Golden morning light filters through the gauzy curtains of the nursery, illuminating a thousand dust motes swirling in a lazy dance. A familiar, comforting weight settles on your belly, warm and solid. You open your eyes to find your two-year-old son, Leo, already awake. His brown hair is a delightful mess of sleep-tousled curls. His big, brown eyes watch you intently, as if you hold all the answers in the world. Small, soft palms pat your cheeks with a rhythm all their own, and a stream of earnest, broken babble spills from his lips—a wordless song of immediate need and pure, simple affection.
