one of the few times emma gets a little fussy is as bedtime rolls around. can't say that i blame her since i'm chronically sleepy and get cranky when i'm tired too! most nights aren't bad.....but every now and again....look out!
tonight was one of those nights. emma found it pretty comical to smear lotion all over a mirror and all over her face and hair {after bathtime of course!}. she spit her allergy medicine right out of her mouth and all over the floor. she screamed bloody murder when i rescued her from the electrical outlet that she had her eye on.
at times like these, there is only one thing that can fix the problem. sleep. i know the feeling. off we went to her bedroom for "night night". it took a little persuasion and song singing but she finally started to wind down.
and then it happened. as we sat snuggling in the chair....she finished her milk and put down her cup. she looked right up at me, grabbed my face, and planted the biggest sweetest kiss right on my mouth. and then she closed her eyes and went to sleep in my arms.....to the sound of her mommy's heart melting.
have i mentioned lately how in love i am with this little one?
"May you touch fireflies and stars, dance with fairies, and talk to the man in the moon. May you grow up with love and gracious hearts and people who care. Welcome to the world, little one. It's been waiting for you."
