We both learn

It’s not just you that’s learning. It’s the two of us learning together. ⠀ ⠀

You learn I’m your safe place, while I learn to protect.⠀ ⠀

You learn to latch, while I learn to breastfeed.⠀ ⠀

You learn to take a bottle, while I learn to relax.⠀ ⠀

You learn to eat solids, while I learn to eat crusts.⠀ ⠀

You learn to talk, while I learn a new language.⠀ ⠀

You learn to crawl, while I learn to be alert.⠀

You learn to smile, while I learn the best kind of warmth.⠀ ⠀

You learn to cry, while I learn a new pain.⠀ ⠀

You learn to cuddle, while I learn to hold on.⠀

You learn to walk, while I learn to chase.⠀ ⠀

You learn to be away, while I learn to trust.⠀

You learn to self settle, while I learn resilience.⠀ ⠀

You learn to laugh, while I learn to be your clown.⠀ ⠀

You learn to adapt, while I learn to let go.⠀ ⠀

We both learn together and grow together. Every day. Every step of the way.⠀
