“Don’t want a song”

I put BB to bed last night for the first time in a little while and asked him what song he wanted me to sing, as usual. He said, “I don’t want a song.” A little bit of me died.

I think it’s because I don’t get to put him to bed often due to feeding AB. It’s kind of like holding him in my arms too, I couldn’t pick him up for most of the time I was pregnant with AB and then now, he doesn’t want to be picked up. Just the first of many letting go-s.

Edit 26 February 2025: Last night, I was singing all sorts of nonsense to AB while putting her to bed. BB overheard me and asked why she gets lots of songs. I told him I thought he didn’t like it. So maybe the secret is a little good old fashioned jealousy, then I’ll get to sing to him again.
