Asleep in her arms
I wish that those nights would never end. Faith asks me each night to curl up with her in her bed as she falls asleep. I don't mind. I've missed her throughout the day and ache for the moment to relax in bed. Her little body curls up and she puts her knees into my belly. Her head tucks into my chest. She is content and happy to be with me. She wasn't happy to get ready for bed but happy to be there with me when she was ready. The morning hours come fast and Bud is up getting ready for work. He wakes her with the light and she can't go back to sleep. Mommy, I want you to lay with me in my bed. OK Faith, but only for a little bit. I need to get ready for school. What makes Faith so special? Little moments like this make me love being a mom.
