Before Ethan was born, Jorja would fall asleep laying with her head on my lap. Strangely enough, as soon as she settled, Ethan would suddenly be at his busiest time of the day, inside my womb...
Fortunately, these days, their sleeping schedules are more in-sync!
Watching Jorja sleep always makes me teary eyed - sometimes because I'm so jealous that she's getting that sought-after shut eye, but mostly because she is a beautifully peaceful sight to behold. (I can't be sure of what's happening behind those closed eyes though!)
Spending time with her before she goes off to her happy place at night is a real blessing - This firecracker of a girl with the big voice and wild hair quietens down, nestles into a comfortable spot and her hair settles gently on her pillow and then I realise that she's not yet to big for a cuddle!
I'm only too aware of the fact that one day, this will be a distant memory...
One day she'll limit my time in her room and it will be very uncool (and uncomfortable) for me to lay on her bed!
She'll ask me not to stroke her hair so as to 'watch the 'do' and she won't need me to sing nursery rhymes to lull her off to sleep.
So until that day, I'll hold these days very close to my heart.
