Best Present
Last night my six year old decided she wanted Twas the Night Before Christmas read to her at bedtime. As I was reading, she started to get more and more sleepy...till her eyes were just slits and she was trying so hard to keep them open.
I got to the last line and her eyes opened a little wider and she got the most goofy sleepy smile on her face! Her eyes closed and she smiled that sleepy smile again and said "Good night Mommy, I love you." I kissed her soft little cheek and put my head on her shoulder. She put her arm around my neck and smiled her dazed smiles a few more times before she fell totally asleep.
There is no better place; no party or event...no person..no anything that can compare to that moment with my baby girl.
