We were on the bed getting ready for Bible time when the baby laid her head into my lap. I pulled her up further on my lap, then laid back and started tickling her. She giggled and tried to escape. Then next thing I knew, Rowan was throwing herself down next to me. For a second, I thought, I need to stop this so we can stay on schedule, but I looked at my watch and thought what would it hurt to have five minutes of tickle time. So I went for it.
Rowan was on top of me. Jory was on top of me. They were on the side of me. They’d escape move to the head of the bed to enter the fray again. Occasionally the baby would cry out, “Mommy, let me go! Mommy stop!” I’d stop for a moment, then continued on with the tickling.
Some days schedules need to be put aside and tickling need to reign for a moment.
