Bedtime

I love putting Malachi to bed, because I love laying there in his little bed singing songs, getting hugs and kisses, and talking about whatever pops into his little head. It makes me wish I could just freeze time and keep him this way forever! No growing up. I want to tell him to not stop being curious, and don't stop dancing even when there is no music, and don't stop making up silly words that make just us laugh, and don't stop asking questions about everything, and don't stop telling your mommy you love her and giving her kisses and hugs, don't stop! This is why I love bedtime, because it reminds me everyday that I love being a mom, that I have the most amazing child in the world, that there is a loving Heavenly Father who loves me even more than this, which is hard to comprehend, but true. Enjoy bedtime, it is a special moment.

I love when Harrison cuddles up to me just before I lay him down and I have similar thoughts. I'm always like, please don't let him get so big that he won't want to cuddle his mom anymore. I also love looking over at him while I'm reading him a story and catching him looking at me. Our eyes meet and we just laugh. It truly is a special role being a mom and it's nice to have a daily reminder of that fact.
