We put the kids to bed last night and came in our room and started getting ready for bed. I had just gotten out of the shower and I walk out of the bathroom and saw little fingers sticking out from under the door and I hear
Saddie say, "Mom, I want you to sleep with me" So I told her I'd be there in a few minutes. She waited a few seconds and called again, and I told her just a minute. Then I got preoccupied and didn't hear her again so I figured she just went to bed, because she's done that before. So about 15 min. later I go out to check on her and this is what I found.
Sweet little
Saddie had bundled herself up in her 2 favorite blankets right outside my door and had fallen asleep. It made me sad that I had missed out on my opportunity of laying in bed with her and cuddling her to sleep. I get so impatient with them at bed time but time just goes by so fast and I'm usually not even home at night and pretty soon she won't need me anymore. They grow up way too fast! I had read her a story and said prayers and tucked her in so I don't feel too guilty but I know one day I will miss her asking me to sleep with her!

Oh, that is so cute. I miss my boys wanting me to lay with them. I jump in bed with Trenton and he just jumps right back out and won't budge til I get out. I miss his cute little lisp and the way he played with my hair. Little Saddie bug is growing so fast, but she will always be your baby. I get impatient too and when Kaitlyn wants me to lay with her I sometimes get annoyed but then I try to remember that one day she will be gone, with her own life. Sad to think.
I have accidentally done this SOOO many times. I am the same way - very impatient at bedtime, when I want to be left alone! I have to constantly remind myself to enjoy them because they'll grow up so fast. But I am really not great at laying down with them at night, because I'm excited to finally be done with my mommy duties for the day!
Aw you're making me feel all bad and what not. Isaac asks me to lay by him every night and I've not been able to as much with the new baby. I'm already missing out. :(
