What is it with sleeping kids?
I have heard a million parents say it.
It doesn't matter how nuts they have made you during the day. You easily forget the whining, sibling arguing, pulling at your arms and legs, the zillion and one questions about the same things over and over again, the even louder whining, the waking you up at the ass crack of dawn, driving them all over the town three times and back again, the fact that your "me" time was a wash due to no nap or school functions. (The list goes on and can vary day to day.)
When you walk into their room at night and see those little scutches sleeping.......I melt. I totally and completely melt. My babies....they are babies. Babies that are growing at a waaaayyyy too fast pace. I want to climb in bed with them. I want to hold them. I want to let them know that no matter what happens I will always love them. Even when they are driving me nuts. They are lovable all the time...no matter what.
I want to go back in time.
If I could only go back and remember them sleeping this way.
Tomorrow I will......I will remember.
It's so funny that you wrote this....I always peek in on the kids right before I go to bed. Just last night when I went into McKinley's room, I peeked into her crib and just froze. She looked like such a big girl! I couldn't believe it! My baby is not really a baby anymore! I honestly don't know where the time has gone and I feel like they are growing too fast! I am always reminded as I look at their peaceful faces that they love me unconditionally and that they will always be my babies. Thanks Becca!
