Why, oh why, can't I just get one full night of peaceful slumber? Oh yeah. Because I end up playing musical beds all night. It's always one thing or another...Sam gets up and starts walking around half asleep so I need to intercept before he walks into a wall or something, Kate needs to go potty or lost Pinky (her teddy bear) somewhere under her covers, or Miss Alice starts crying and I need to rock her back to sleep. Sometimes I just cave in and put her in bed with me even though I can't sleep as well when she's there. Whatever it may be, it doesn't seem to matter. It all just equals a horrible night's sleep for me.
When about 8 o'clock rolls around, way too soon might I add, I tend to feel kind of like a zombie.
But then I feel her soft hand touch my face.
I turn to look at my beautiful baby lying next to me. She looks at me with her unforgettable blue eyes and smiles. Suddenly, all the hardships of the night just seem to float away and I am there in that moment with her as she greets me, "Good Morning" in her own little way. She reaches again and I kiss her hand.
It's going to be a good day.

Oh, that is so sweet! Creed would never touch me, he doesn't like to touch things, don't ask me why! I wish I could give you some sleeping tips for Alice, but I know as soon as I do (which I don't have any good ones anyway, I'm just lucky) Creed will stop sleeping through the night! Good luck wiht that~!
so true....
someday us mothers will get a good nights sleep......
someday...
until then all we can do is cherish those moments instead of becoming the mad mother we all really want to be in the morning after a night from down under.
Beautiful! I know what you mean. I hate night, I hate the anger and the frustration I would feel when I have to get up again and agian. But whenyou see those happy faces in the morning, happy just for you, nothing beats that feeling. "I love you, Mommy" screams from their eyes and smiles!! Nothing better!
