Last night we got home a bit late, and
the girls had to go straight to taking turns getting backpacks ready for today
and showers.
Of course, everyone found their own
distractions. I found this little lady
in the “library” area of their bedroom.
By the time they were done, it was time
to wind down and get ready for bed. They
looked completely worn out. Don’t we all
feel a little beat down at the end of a Monday?
I was in my pajamas too, so I crawled
into Katy’s bed with her, and we read a book together. Lucy was curled up in the pink chair reading
her own book.

They were simply happy to have me in
their room, sharing those quiet moments with them before sleep.
When we were done with reading, we
turned on the low lights and Lucy’s brain turned on and wanted to have those
thoughtful conversations. We talked
about what it means to believe in yourself.
I enjoyed the moment. I was grateful for it.
I know that a day will come when they
will want their privacy, and they won’t want their mom coming up to their room
to hang out. They won’t want their mom
snuggling up close.
Today, I can simply enjoy this moment.
So sweet! Glad you were able to cherish those moments.
ReplyDeleteThose quiet moments before bed are some of my favorites! :)
