As much as there is to enjoy about living, I absolutely love pulling up those covers, kissing the forehead and watching him breathe before I call it a night. And it's so soothing no matter how agitating things may have been just an hour prior. EarlierKenya G.

And I have one still at home part time (preschool 4 mornings a week). But basically... yeah. I love to go kiss their sleeping little cheeks and whisper sweet nothings in their ears after they're fast asleep. It's those moments that make all the crazy and stress just melt away. <3Jeannine (@EubanksEutopia)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4109556486849297351.post-8129693165459060512015-03-11T10:14:13.923-04:002015-03-11T10:14:13.923-04:00Beautiful post and song, Lisa!

That's exactly what your last-look-of-the-day at your sleeping children sounds like - quiet moments of love and awe. I'm so very glad you have them. :)Marcia Shaw Wyatthttp://blogitudes.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4109556486849297351.post-88177268366713311972015-03-11T09:16:52.293-04:002015-03-11T09:16:52.293-04:00Yep.

Originally it was to keep them from talking and disturbing each other, but now I just enjoy it. Those little sighs as they settle down. Someone sucking his thumb. Someone talking quietly to a lovey. I love those last few moments with them each night.MamaRabiahttp://thelieberfamily.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4109556486849297351.post-30004961968989086922015-03-11T07:29:33.379-04:002015-03-11T07:29:33.379-04:00This is such a sweet pos.
