Last night was one of those nights where the kids went to bed around 7. They had played hard all day with a cousin and there were no naps except for Katie and Evan. So, the boys went down with out a fight while Katie talked to herself for about 2 hours. Within those 2 hours she managed to wake Evan, which made me irritated. That is until I heard her say...once upon a time(over and over). She was 'telling' Evan bedtime stories and it made my heart so happy. It was a reminder that no matter how hard some days can be, if I stop and pay attention I'll witness some sweet moments between my kids. Katie and Evan sat in their room and 'talked' for more than an hour before they got quiet and went to sleep. I couldn't keep myself from smiling as I listened to them.
Priceless!!
