Goodnight 2014....

Tonight, the boys were very tired. Around 7:00 I started getting them ready for bed. Roen insisted on sleeping in our bed (which he never does... another ear infection coming on?) so I snuck him in our bed and then put Remi in his own bed. I read Remi three books (because 1 is never enough) and then he asked me to stay in there with him. I sat in the chair in the corner of his room and read (Bridge to Haven by Francine Rivers) while he said his 'goodnights' and 'I love yous' and drifted off.

The last few things Remi said were quite random. He started by laying very still followed by him crying saying that he never wanted me to die. I try not to look too deep into these things, but moments like this make me realize the importance of every day we have each other. He then told me his favorite thing to eat was blackberries and his favorite thing to drink was chocolate milk and white milk. Who knows what exactly what was going through his very sleepy little head!

I guess I just wanted to remember the sleeping blessings that fill my house on this last night of 2014....
