When Mattie was born, Hugh had the blessing of tucking Laney into bed, when he wasn't working his three nights a week, since I was nursing Mattie. I can't tell you how much I've wanted to be in two places at once so many times. I've had the BEST, most priceless time with Mattie tucking her in at night, but I sure do miss my daily bedtime with her. When I come out of Mattie's room, Hugh has usually already tucked Laney in and all is quiet. I will sneak in there and jump in bed with her to give her one last kiss a lot of times. This usually riles her up, but she loves it too, and ALWAYS asks for me to tell her a story. Man, this girl LOVES her some stories. For real! Sometimes, I'm fresh out of ideas and creativity, but this girl, her creativity has no end. I will then tell her I will sing her a song and rub her back instead. Oh, what I wouldn't give if somebody would sing me to sleep every night and tickle my back all the while. Ahh...what a blissful thought. I know soon and very soon, I will long for these days where my little girl was little and excited that I jumped in bed to spend just a few minutes with her, so I'm cherishing every.moment. I wonder if she'll still like it when she's a teenager?
