go in your child's bedroom at night
when they are fast asleep
and watch
and listen
and brush you fingers on their cheek
and smell their hair
I do
I just did
A love that amazes me
When she is sleeping she looks to me just like she did the day I brought her home
I am so thankful and so in love....
Mhm...I do this all the time and I love it too....I totally understand where you are coming from....you take the words right out of my mouth.....aaahhh....xoxo
ReplyDeleteI do this too. Children are so sweet.
ReplyDeleteOh! I love that time! It is just the thing that heaven must be filled with...sleeping angels with soft baby skin! I always get my camera...there are tons of pictures of Allikaye sleeping - I never get enough of them! :0)
ReplyDeleteoh...sleepy smooches are the best.
ReplyDeletehaven't checked in in a while. love the look of your blog. and yes, i love to check on my kids. easy to forget all the "distractions" that are throughout the day and just enjoy their innocense.
ReplyDeleteALL THE TIME!! My oldest is almost nine and I still sneak in to smell her and kiss her while she sleeps. It is the best part of the day.
ReplyDeleteLove your blog!

i think all mommys do.........i always sniff my boys [even when they are all yucky & sweaty!!] they are still sweet as candy!
ReplyDeleteSo well said!
ReplyDeleteI don't know how many times I check to make sure she's got her blanket, her head isn't in a strange position, there's no Dora doll stuck under her back...! Its all an excuse though -- to just go in and look at her for a while -- and remember how lucky I am. :)
