I peer into Miss C’s bedroom. She is my big little girl nearly asleep in my childhood bed. All I see is the top of her head. She is burrowed beneath a leopard pattern comforter and pink sheets.
“Come here snuggle bug.” She says this to me as soon as she hears my footsteps creak on the hardwood floor and I laugh because it sounds like something I would say to her.
I crawl into bed beside her and breathe in her blonde hair.
“This is one of my favorite things…snuggling with you at bedtime,” I tell her.
She rolls over toward me and says, “One of my favorite things…is loving you,” and then she closes her eyes and smiles.
Sometimes kids can say things that would reinvigorate a stressed parent- and I think it is our duty as parents to return the favor.

I love it so much when they are sweet. Last night I snuck in to give Baby Girl one more kiss before I went to bed and I leaned over to kiss her and she grabbed my hand in her sleep and sqeezed. Ahhh. Those are the moments.

Nothing better that, huh? I love bedtime for so many reasons. I dread the day when my girls get too cool to cuddle with their Daddy!
This is so sweet. Sometimes words from kids can be the best medicine for the soul and heart
I’m so sorry about the betta fish. You have my deepest condolences.
And it’s THOSE moments that make everything else so worth it…
Keep seeing that little face saying those sweet words when she’s a teenager. It’ll get you through.

Oh wow, that is so sweet! It made me tear up. You are blessed!
That’s so cute! Snuggle bug
It reminds me of the way my grandma used to snuggle me long time ago. Back then I was so afraid of the dark/ghosts that I couldn’t sleep without somebody by my side.
Love those tiny little moments of sweetness…. Nothin’ better than cuddlin’ with my little bugs!

I call my youngest, 13yrs old, Miss C as well. I can still remember when she was young and a great snuggler. Now she has no time for such foolishness…oh the days!
Oh wow, that is so sweet! You are blessed!

I just love the innocent and pure things children say. If we could only have a recorder to catch those precious moments.
