I thought I was over this hurdle and just kind of forgot about it all. I mean, my kids sleep from 8pm to almost 8am every evening and I guess I sort of take it for granted.
Well, starting a few weeks ago, I would wake up to get ready to work to find the random fist shoved in my face or tiny feet nestled in my back.
Kiki.
This has started becoming a regular thing for her. In the darkness of the night, she somehow creeps in unnoticed with her blanket and pillow in tow and climbs into our bed.
I thought it was kind of sweet at first.. like oh, maybe she had a nightmare or is not feeling good.
Well now, at 3 years old, its just what I didn't want... a habit.
The weird part is, for the first time in motherhood, I don't mind. AT ALL. Maybe its the fact that she is probably my last one (well, POSSIBLY my last one)... or maybe it's the fact that she smells so darn good. Or maybe I am just growing soft..
I don't know, but either way she is still there..
Here's a shot from yesterday morning.
How can I say no to that?

Just too sweet! Like you I never encouraged them to sleep in my bed but I must confess that once in a while, it's kind of nice. Nothing soft about it; we're just good Moms.
You can't say no to that sweetness! I know we can't.
Seriously that post made me cry. Savannah has done that since she was old enough to be in a big girl bed. She is almost 6 and she still does it and it doesn't bother me one bit. I love her and she is my LAST baby and I want to enjoy every single minute of this little time I have with her.
