Bedtime has always been our special thing. Nursing has allowed me the privilege of taking over bedtime routines. Reilly is a good sleeper and makes it easy. We have created a simple routine. PJ's (or none), hugs and kisses with Daddy, nurse, book, and a song or two. His favorite song is "Twinkle, Twinkle" because he has a turtle that shines stars on the ceiling. We rock and point at the stars while we sing. I say we sing because he recently starting humming along with me. It is different from his daily babble. He tries to keep a constant tone while I sing.
Tonight has been the best mommy moment, by far! While we rocked and sang he snuggled up close with his blanket. He hummed along with me so I kept singing. He just stared and stared into my eyes. You could see the contentment and happiness roll through his face as drowsiness took over. When I finally decided to lay him down (which was a hard choice to make, we rocked for a long time) he sighed one last sigh as he fell asleep in the crib. It was the best feeling I could ever feel!
