i always sneak in to give leighton a final kiss goodnight before i crawl in bed, but there are nights when i just have to hold her. tonight was one of those nights.
because i've been working nights and i've missed putting her to bed
because life in general is too busy and too fleeting
because someday she'll be too big to rock
because i can sleep when she's old
because there's a peace in her gentle, quiet breaths
because i'm thankful for her health
because i love seeing her in footy pajamas
because it warms my heart to feel those tiny hands wrap around my neck
because she'll be bigger by morning
because i want to whisper 1000 times how much i love her
because my heart is so content
grateful. joyful. blessed.

As I was up feeding Henry 4 times last night, I really needed these inspiring words. You are such a great mother Sara!
love this post... especially the part about sleeping when you are older :)
