When the house is quiet, and everyone is in their beds, I find myself being able to take a breath and relax. Shortly after that though, I find myself wandering around the house wondering what in the world I am going to do with myself when one day, I don't have the chaos to keep me busy. Sad right?! Anyway, I tent to go check on them, and watch them sleep when I start feeling down like that. And after just a moment of looking at them I always am overcome with love, I feel so blessed. In that moment I am able to see that as rough as it is being a parent, and as much as I want to just throw in the towel and give up most days, it really is the greatest blessing to be able to give ALL of me to them.
I Love that she Loves her daddys blanket. She always sleeps better and longer with it.
I love that she loves her teddy. I Love that her pink teddy is a "he" :D
I Love that she sleeps with her slippers on.
I Love that when she sleeps she makes those same sweet baby faces that she made when she was tiny.
I Love that she tells me what she dreams about when she wakes up every time without fail!
I Love that she Loves to sleep in our bed for her naps. When I go to lay down with her in her bed she always responds with "Daddy'd bed." I Love that she wants to be in as few clothes as possible with a fan on while she sleeps, and has to have her stars on even though you cannot see them because its light in the room. I Love that she has to take out her hair for her nap so I have to completely redo it when she wakes up. (the day this picture was taken was an exception) I LOVE the way she has to be touching me when she falls asleep. Usually putting her arm around my neck with her forehead against mine.
I Love that he doesn't take them back into their own beds when they come in, in the middle of the night. I Love the way he puts his arm around them and hold them close. I Love that he welcomes them with open arms and doesn't complain when they wake him up. I Love that he will get out of bed to get them a drink, or calm them down when they are having a rough night/sick/bad dreams. I Love that he will sing them to sleep. I Love that he tells them bedtime stories making them the main characters.
I Love that he is mine.
I Love that they are mine.
