Favorite Time

Hands down, my favorite time of day every single day is the moment I check in on a (hopefully) sleeping Elliot.  I creep into his room, pull the covers back over his tiny, 4 year old body, and instantly forget (hopefully) any of the rotten things he may have done that day.

To see him sleeping - so soft and innocent - erases the yelling and scolding but reinforces the giggling and cuddling.  My boy - my perfect boy - resting up for another day with Giraffey and a blankie in addition to all of his normal bedding.

Some nights are easier than others and some nights beg me to call a witness to what I see - naked butt up in the air, most of a body hanging out of bed, etc. 

Last night was one of those nights. 


I know I should get on him about playing with things in bed, but when you go in his room and see that cuteness, how can you do anything but smile?

That is cute! We have moments like those, too. You almost don't want to say anything because then the cuteness might stop.

Such a sweet little man, Anna....and I love those stickers all over. I can see why that's one of your favorite times each day.
