Nicely paced. The shifting perspectives on Chris’ sweet submission to an increasingly infantile state of being adds depth, and more reality, to the description of that transformation. I particularly like / identify with the Chris’ withheld Chris’ eagerness of “descent”. It is appreciated that you have done this without the unnecessary, and all to common, episodes of “sex with mommy” (baby’s don’t have sex with mommy, they have the soft sensuality of their baby ness and the tenderness of Mommy’s ministrations - including the warm bindings of breast feedings). In short, a very good story.
