Let Them Sleep...

"Let her sleep for when she wakes, she will move mountains"

As a mom, one of life's mundane acts always makes my mind reel back to when the kids were babies; sleeping. When they are sleeping, it washes away any frustrations from the day or arguments. They are just my sweet, precious little babies.

I have been very busy at work lately. In some ways, I love this. Since I enjoy my work-time being filled with things to do. Lately, it has been to the point that I have worked way more than my usual amount of time. It has been exhausting. For all of us. Will has been awesome at helping with the items I usually do at home. He is worn out since he already does a lot at home.

I am very fortunate that my work schedule is pretty flexible. I try to make sure I have a few early days each week, so that I can come home and spend time with the kids and Will. The past month or so that has not been as easy. I have had late nights more often than not. I think it will slow down this next week. Fingers-crossed.

One of my favorite time of day is story-time and laying with the kids while they fall asleep. I love that they are still at an age where they want me to lay down with them. They both want to hold my hand as they fall asleep.

I love the questions they ask about the poems we are reading and our whatever our current book. Right now we are reading a book of poems by Shel Silverstein, which opens it up for a lot of questions! We are also reading Pete's Dragon.

Anyways, I am so glad that I can still sneak these moments in. We may not always get reading in, but I can still lay with them and snuggle.




Colin's face was covered, so no pictures of him this time.
