Every once in a while, Rose turns to me when I should be focussing on Leo and giving her a break rather than doing something lazy, and says "I don't think you have any idea what it's like." And it's true! I have no fucking clue!
A couple of days ago, coming back from work, I gave Rose a break by replacing her in bed while Leo was napping. I was tired and slept for about an hour. I was then *rudely* woken up by this baby who became increasingly agitated. Boy, was I ever out of it! As it is, I when I am awakened suddenly I am immediately struck by existential anxiety and disorientation and now I had to also soothe this baby. This was only a glimpse of what Rose goes through every single day. And so I take a minute and admit that I have no idea what it's like. And I say to Rose, you're amazing!
