Night Night

I really love to sleep. I don't function well unless I get about 9 hours of sleep a night. (This is actually an improvement.....2 years ago, I needed 10 hours a night. So I am making progress!) I realize that I am very blessed to have a child who loves sleep as much as I do. For the last few weeks, when 8:00 rolls around I ask Abigail, "What time is it?" And she replies, "Night night." She gives us kisses, goes into her room, and folds her hands to pray (after a little prompting). She is almost always really excited to go to sleep!

She also likes to sleep in. She rarely gets up before 8:30 in the morning. The other day, we actually all slept in until 9:30! I am definitely enjoying these days. I realize, however, that this is all about to change. Even next week, when we go to Thailand, I know it will take some time for her to adjust to new surroundings and a new bed. And new time zones. But this will just further prepare me for our new little one to arrive. Those will be the days when I am zombie-like from my lack of sleep. When I am near impossible to wake up in the middle of the night. I know those days are coming. But that's ok. It will be worth it. But I am definitely going to enjoy my sleep now....while it lasts.
