As I just completed putting both kids in bed (Olivia is still awake mind you) I realized that I have some of the sweetest kids around. Hunter even at 8 still wants Mommy to lay with him while he drifts off to sleep. If I try to leave to early he quitely asks "me to stay".
Olivia and I sang a variety of songs before she felt Daddy would do better in getting her to sleep. In her sweet little voice I am pretty sure she made up half of what she sang but it was still so precious. When I would sing she would rock her head and ask me "did you learn that at friends?". "Friends" is what she refers to as her preschool buddies.
One of these days unfortunately not so far in the future my kids will no longer want me to sing to them, lay with them or "stay". They will be too old for Mommy at bedtime. I cherish these moments and want to hold onto them as long as I can.
