kid sleep meets the molly momma

there seriously might not be anything that i love more than to watch my babes sleep.  i go in their room every night, multiple times, and take a moment - or twelve - to admire their innocence, reflect on our day, feel my heart swell with love and pride, pray for their sweet souls.....

 

AND RE-TUCK THEM IN NICELY!!!!

 

SERIOUSLY.

 

part of it is so dang cute...they flip the wrong way...

 

strip themselves of their nice warm covers...

 

have their arms propped up as though they might need to pop out of bed any instant...

 

have their knees up like their lounging on a couch....

get twisted like a burrito in their blankets....

sprawl out as though they are flying squirrels....

and are sometimes sporting compromising positions like the chinese splits!

ugh!  you're doing it wrong girls!!!!

my momma brain cannot possibly walk back out of the room without flipping them back, untwisting them, fixing their blankets, de-propping their limbs, and making sure they LOOK all cozy cuddled and are under blankets....

 

and whisper "good night, i love you." as i re-tuck them in....

 

if i had a dime for every time i re-tucked them in we would be sleeping on gold matresses!

 

now my momma heart AND BRAIN can rest easy....until next time my sweet sweet girls - in a few hours when i check again!
