It's 12:18... I'm still up because Kara went to sleep, Kiley fell asleep around 11pm and Abby woke up screaming at 11:30 and I just now got her back down. I'm not sure if she had a bad dream but the way she was screaming and having just had a 103 temp yesterday and a stomach bug I had to check on her. I tried to get her to eat a few crackers, just in case she was hungry but she still won't eat really. Hopefully her appetite will return tomorrow. She was very scared and sad and when she was sitting in her booster chair at the table I asked her if she wanted me to hold her (she was sniffing sadly) she went "yees" very sweetly and sadly.
What's an extra hour of sleep when I can hold my Abby instead... she felt so small tonight....
She brought me my first flowers from her today... they were the heads of dandelions but they could have been roses... and I almost missed it. I almost told her to find Daddy and show him the flowers. How quickly sometimes we get caught up in the things we 'need' to do. Maybe sometimes we just need to take a moment and smell the dandelions. I put them in an envelope and marked it, dated it and sealed it. I may be crazy but I'm saving them... they are special.
I love being a mom...
