Just another night

I don't want to forget tonight...nothing spectacular happened.  In fact, it was a night just like every other night.  We ate dinner, did baths, and tucked kids in bed...but tonight she wanted Mom to stay a little longer.  So we curled up in her tent.  We talked about what we are thankful for- "Rara and Jesus" she says.  I agree little one...She looks at me with her beautiful brown eyes and her amazing curly hair.  We read book after book.  She gives endless hugs, kisses, and cuddles.  She strokes my hair while she sings "A dream is a wish your heart makes..." and I just laid there and soaked it all in....because I know these moments won't last forever.  I know there will be nights where she won't say "stay here Mom, read another book Mom, talk to me Mom, don't go Mom"...and so tonight I stay a little longer...it was just another night...and yet I know it was just the kind of night I will long for one day.  This is the good stuff.
