Every night Madelyn goes down at 8:30. Right before I go to bed I always check on her. Just to make sure her face is not too close to the bumper pads or her blanket is not over her head. I even place pacies near her head so that she can find them in the night....yes...I've become that mom! As I tip-toed in the other night it made me think about the book "I Love You Forever" by Robert Munsch. The mother would crawl in her sons room every night to sing and to rock him. Too sweet! Here is an excerpt from the book:
"But at night time, when that two-year-old was quiet, she opened the door to his room, crawled across the floor, looked up over the side of his bed; and if he was really asleep she picked him up and rocked him back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. While she rocked him she sang:
I'll love you forever,
I'll like you for always,
As long as I'm living
my baby you'll be."
Here is a video I took last night..
When I look at her asleep so peacefully in her bed at makes me think how incredible blessed Shane and I are to have such a sweet and perfect little girl. You tend to forget everything that happened in the day that made you want to pull your hair out. I Love her!

Oh sweet angel! I could eat her up!
I'm glad to know that you do that, too. Houston laughs at me, but I check on Bennett so many times after he's gone to bed. She is so precious.
