Laundry Day

I love folding tiny clothes. They remind me of the tiny bodies that I love so much.

As most childrens clothing is held together by a variety of snaps, buttons, zippers and ties, the buzz of a zipper or click of a snap has become familiar to me now in a way it never was before It sounds like home and makes me think of freshly washed babies getting bundled up for bed.

Wet hair popping through the too small neck of a onesie. Three snaps to close it up - click, click, click. Clean, pudgy feet sliding into footed pjs. A quick zip up, careful not to pinch cubby thighs. Two little arms wrapped around my steady neck and a smooth forhead snuggled in my neck.

Yeah, I love laundy day.
