Sweetness

There is something so sweet when your little one sleeps next to you.   First, let me say that I am not an advocate for family beds or regularly sleeping next to your children but there are times when it is needed.  Last week for us, it was needed. 

There is a sweetness of seeing them so content, sleeping soundly.  It reminds you how cute they are and how much you love them.  You easily forget all the little battles you have just gone through out the day.  That’s some of the thoughts we had.

The other thoughts included annoyance of this little body who needs 3 times the space of the bed then you do, snores like an 80 year old man, exudes heat like a inferno and makes sure there is no way you get 1 hour of solid sleep during the night. 

As sweet as it was to share the bed with Addie while we were out of town I was glad to be home where she could sleep in her own bed, where she belongs :)
