I am sure every mom feels the same way about their sleeping kids as I do. Yes it is nice to have them quiet in one spot not terrorizing the whole entire house. However there is nothing sweeter to see your cute little one completely crashed out. In fact they are so sweet looking sometimes it makes me almost want to wake them up just so I can eat up their adorable cheeks.
Every night I go and check on the kids before I go to bed myself. I used to tell myself I did this to make sure they are ok. But I have since realized that I do it because they look so sweet, and I recall all the reasons I love them so very much. It puts me in a better place emotionally before I sleep. I always find myself falling to my knees in deep gratitude after I see their beautiful faces. I still do this even though they are moving into teen years!
ReplyDeleteOnce again, I love your that girl.
ReplyDeleteSounds like I need to adapt this practice. Every night when the kids finally go to bed, I find myself grateful that they are in bed and I'm not interested in seeing them until morning. Hmmmm.... Troy does the checking if need be.
