I love sleeping children, okay, I love them awake too, but sleeping they are so wonderful. Like my friend Becky says, "I fall in love with them all over again when they sleep!" I agree with her completely.
Scrubba is a very normal sleeper. We read stories, say prayers, and give a hug and a kiss and in a few short minutes he is sleeping blissfully.
KK on the other hand, has her own set of rules. We read some stories, where she insists on sitting in a very specific spot in the chair that leaves me hanging off the edge during the whole thing. Then, she has to find all of the things that she wants in her bed with her, like in the photo, it ended up being the books we read, her baby, and a number of blankets. Once her arms are full of things to sleep with, she has to turn off her light and then she tries to fold her arms around all of the things(..one day i will learn how to infiltrate this thing...) Okay, that was a strange add-in from the hubby, anyway, she fold her arms around all of her things to say her prayers...which are darling to hear! Finally, she leans over to kiss me good-night. I lay her down, and she organizes all of her things and eventually she sleeps. Usually one of us goes in later to clear her crib of the mayhem and allow her some sleeping space. That is how we got this picture. I love her little hand resting on her cheek. I love it even more knowing that my sweet hubby was the one who painted her little finger nails while I was at a meeting. Life is good.
