Good Morning!

I have to confess, our daughter sleeps with us.  I know... gasp, cringe, think what you like.  I secretly love it!  She has been in our bed at least a year.  She was sleeping in a toddle bed 100% of the time and one of the few times she was sick, we put her in bed with us and slowly the 100% became our bed.  With complete laziness on our part, it had never ended.  Don't worry for my husband or our marriage, this does not impede our "hanky-panky".  (I can't believe I just said that, LOL!)  My husband works extremely early so his bedtime is very early.  Needless to say, we have to find "other" opportunities throughout our days anyway, which,  I'm guessing, just comes with being a parent.

Again, I love it!   Don't get me wrong, there are nights when she tosses and turns, or doesn't go to bed right away and I get frustrated and I don't think I could do it with anything less than a King, that is a fact, but this is one of the favorite parts of my day.  Typically my three year old is the one waking me up and it is beautiful.  She is such a sweetheart, putting her hand on my face and whispering, “It’s good morning time mom”.  I love it!  We lay with each other, snuggling and discussing what we will do that day or what she wants to eat for breakfast.

Times like these are what I will never get back when she is grown up or even when she starts school.  I cherish each and every day that I am lucky enough to get to do this with her.  I want to soak up every second that I can with her before she is too old or too busy to have morning cuddles with me.

Long story short, soak it up, when you can and while you can because life goes by fast and they grow up faster!

Until Next Time,

Blair
