Things I love
Last night I was having a horrific time staying asleep. I went to sleep fine, but Emily has a bit of a cold and kept tossing and turning. I am a crazy light sleeper, so I woke up with every turn. Sometime around two, she woke up for some snuggle time. In all honesty; this is my absolute favorite time with her.
I put her into bed with me and gave her a
bottlebig girl cup. She quickly fell back to sleep and I just laid her on my chest. I kissed her sweet little head and inhaled the scent of her. About ten minutes later she began to laugh in her sleep. Caleb does the same thing almost every night and it never fails to warm my heart. I can't help but think that they must have had a great day if their dreams are making them laugh out loud while sleeping.Another thing I love is watching Caleb and Emily play together. I have mentioned before, they have this very close relationship and I could spend hours watching the two of them laugh together. Chasing each other through the living room always brings laughs from us all. Caleb is even nice enough to let her catch him on occasion.
I love the fact that Emily is becoming more verbal. Yesterday she started telling me something and I finally got the idea. She kept telling me "paw print" and "clue". We all know she loves Blues Clues and she was telling me all about it at dinner.
I love the fact that Caleb has begun to ask me to read to him more often. He is all into the Kingdom Hearts game and Jake had some of the books. While it is not my idea of entertainment; Caleb loves it and I am willing to take one for the team on occasion.
I love that Emily spends hours each day dancing around the living room. She loves music and will sing along to just about every Taylor Swift song.
I love the fact that I have been blessed with these amazing children. Yes, even the ones that drive me crazy most days.
Okay, I am off to dress Emily. I love that she likes to run naked through the house as a sign that she is sick of her jammies and wants some real clothes.
Have a great day!

Aw.
I love that snuggle time with Megan while she's drifting off and actually asleep, too. There's nothing like it! I also love how she listens so intently when I read Jodi Picoult to her. [Article; it helps with the idea of even trying to get 17,000 words into a day, LOL] I love how she looks and touches the pages of her books when I read those to her. I have a meat loaf to finish and stick in the oven, and then I think I'll go see if Megan's awake for a snuggle and some more 'Plain Truth'. 
It is a great day.
@filtered_sunlight - I LOVE that book. I am such a Jodi Picoult ho.
Emily loves being read to; the same book every single time. She really acts like she knows what I am talking about.
This makes me wish I was leaving now to come visit!
It is a great day!
