Around 4:00 a.m. I hear Brook get up and run like the wind to the bathroom. After doing her business I hear a faint tapping on my door. It goes like this.
Tap tap tap
Me: yes?
Brook: Mommy?
Me: yes.
Brook: Can I just have a hug and kiss?
Me: Of course you can, come in.
She runs in my room and throws her little shaking body on me, I asked if she had a bad dream and she says yes in a shaky voice. I ask if she would like to stay in the room with me and daddy. Yes (still shaky).
She then tells me what her bad dream was, there were coyotes outside her bedroom window, and the window was round so they could come in. I told her that her window is so far off the ground only a bird could come in. That made her feel better. She wrapped her tiny arms around me, gave me a hug and kiss, told me she loves me, and then thanks me for letting her sleep with me. Then she snuggled into the crook of my elbow and went to sleep.
Some days are so challenging being a mother. Sometimes the nights are worse. I love that my baby knew mommy and daddy would keep her safe and help her feel better. Days and nights like this, makes me LOVE being a mommy!!!!

We do the same thing with Turner. If he appears in our room at a random hour of the night / morning, we pick him up and snuggle him in.
We won't have much more time to do these things. Soak.it.up.
