Sundays are always hard. Church is in the afternoon, no one gets their regular naps, it's just hard on little girls.
Addison fell asleep trying to eat dinner tonight and after a quick bath, went straight to bed and was asleep almost instantly. Evelyn the same.
Allie was another story. She went to bed, was very tired, but was just very restless. I was downstairs and she came down probably four times with different stories, "There is a big HUGE bug in my room", (a dead fly on her carpet), my elbow hurts, I need a band-aid, my finger has an owie (hangnail), you get the idea. Then finally she came down and she didn't say a word, she just looked at me and I could tell she was not being naughty or wanting to play, she was just overtired and so very restless. So I got off my elliptical, wrapped her in a light blanket, turned all the lights down to almost nothing and started to rock her. It took ten seconds and she was asleep.
I sat and rocked her and cried tears of thankfulness. I am so very glad that I just stopped and took her in my arms. She won't always be little and that makes me cry all by itself.

Allie, I love you. I love who you are. I love who you are to me. thank you my baby.
