Sweet Sleep.

She's reached the point where she's completely exhausted so she's just quiet. She spits out her paci and stares at me in the dim light, her eyes like saucers. Her expression is very serious. She keeps staring and I wonder what she's doing-memorizing my face? Just trying to stay awake for a while longer? Her eyes start to close and she scoots closer, until our foreheads are touching. This is her favorite way to go to sleep. Her hand wraps around my finger and her breathing is even...she's asleep. My job is done, I can go back to whatever important task I was dealing with before.
So why don't I want to leave...?







*I forgot to post any pictures from Thanksgiving-here's one of my little turkey. :)
