The Security Check

Nora has been sleeping in her big girl room for 3 wks now with very little drama past the first night. That ended with her back in the crib.

This is the new bedtime routine....bath, puzzles, milk, brush teeth.

THEN, we get to tuck her in with her Elmo, Carebear, flannel blanket, and 2-3 byes(paci's).

When all that security checking is done, it's time for "Twinkle Twinkle" and the night nights. This is how it goes

Mommy: night night Nora
Nora: Bye mommy
Mommy: I love you sweat pea
Nora: wub you mommy....find you morning(find you in the morning)

Kisses and then I walk out the door.

AND sometimes, sometimes we get to do that all over again. Because she walks down the hall to the bonus room with the most pitiful face and says, 'I up' Little lip protruding just a bit with sad little eyes and hunched shoulders.

This is the last security check, the one when you child wants to make sure you're there. The one that melts mommy's heart every time.
