Every night I look forward to when the girls wind down and go to bed. The only time I have my "own" time is during the 1 hour nap in the afternoon and after they are asleep. I have kids pulling me every which direction during the morning, afternoon and evening. Do not get me wrong I wouldn't have it any other way but I like to do my own thing to.
Now it brings me to this evening. I did the normal bedtime routine got snacks, drinks, brushed teeth, go potty, read books, tell them goodnight, I love you sweet dreams for the 3rd time and then gave hugs and kisses. Myah decided she did not want to go to bed, she was playing in her room with her light on after the 4th time I brought her out to lay with me and cuddle. I got none of my night things done, no watching tv, no relaxing, no bath I wanted to take. She finally just went to sleep at 10:45.
I was so happy to cuddle with her for a short 20 minutes that all my things I wanted to do didn't matter anymore. I only have so much time before she will not cuddle like her sisters will not cuddle anymore that I realized I needed to step back and just take that moment and cherish it.
On a better funnier note when I went to laid Myah down again, Rylee says "ya I know her" I said "what". She goes "yup I have met her before, don't you know?" Huh, interesting. She rolled over and went back to sleep. I wonder what in the world that kid was dreaming of. She cracks me up.
*much love
