Check on me Mommy

So when Jim started going out of town, I had to figure out how to manage all the girls every morning and evening. Book reader for bed, server, travel coordinator. I was everything.  I quickly came up with getting the little ones both ready for bed and then setting Reagan up in her room with books or my iPad - a nifty treat if she was behaving.

Maddy came to realize quickly that I was doing it all. I would read her books and say prayers. Then she'd say "sing a song momma". So I would. After two songs, I'd snuggle a little bit and say "mommy has to go put Reagan in bed now".

I guess she's gotten used to that.

Tonight, right after songs, she said "momma, put me in bed and come back later. Say goodnight to Reagan mommy".

My heart melted. I wanted to just stay longer becuase she was being so sweet, but knew I had to put the big sister in bed too.

My little hootie.
