Every night before Daniel and I go to sleep we sneak in to check on Keely. Now I know many parents do this and its not a big deal, but in our house it is. Keely's sleep has always been very much a do not disturb time, partially because if she sees someone in her room and they leave she will cry like her heart has been broken. This is also why we typically don't go in to cuddle her when she wakes up a bit in the night. We've learned the hard way it honestly just makes it worse.
But back to my addiction. It started when Keely first started sleeping in her big girl bed because I wanted to make sure that she hadn't climbed out of the bed and fallen asleep on the floor. But now I do it just because there is nothing more beautiful in the world than a sleeping child. I love seeing her surrounded by all of the stuff she HAS to sleep with (right now its 3 stuffed animals, 5 foam dinosaurs, 2 blankets, and 4 books) in whatever weird position she's gotten herself in (two nights ago she was upside down in the bed). Sometimes its the best part of my day, and honestly my days are pretty great right now.
