Yesterday I made a mistake. I knew I was doing it the moment I picked her up but I couldn't resist that sad little voice calling for mommy. It was 6:30 am, way too early to be awake in our household. I was fast asleep when I heard Lissie calling for mommy in her sweet sleepy voice. The house was still dark, so I thought I could maybe sneak into her room and cover her with a blanket and she would go back to sleep. When I got to her room, I knew I wouldn't be so lucky. She was sitting up. When Lissie sits up there is no getting her to go back down without a fight and with Abby asleep in the next room I had a decision to make. Let her scream or let her get up. I picked her up and took her to my room and here is where the big mistake happened. Rather than just getting up and starting our day, I took Lissie back to my bed and laid down. Then, the coolest thing happened....my baby who is not so tiny anymore, laid her head on my shoulder and fell asleep on my chest. It was the sweetest moment we've had in a long time. I so miss that time with both of my kids where they actually sleep on me. I only get that now when one of them is sick. Anyhow, I LOVED it. Unfortunately, so did Lissie because this morning at 6:30am she called for me again!!!
