Sleeps

I have so much to write about...a visit from the grandparents, Teagans second birthday, Breckin's one month, Teagan officially in Twos, etc. BUT, I have to get this down on paper...er, electronically because things change so fast! Teagan has morphed into a such a great sleeper. She moved into her big girl room and twin bed about a month before she turned 2. We let her call the shots and she climbed into that bed with great pride and has never looked back. She would get out for a little while at all hours and then there was a stage where we would have to lay in bed with her until she drifted off. But now, it is all independence for this little dreamer! She goes to bed and pretty much melts our hearts each night. Now WE are the ones that have a hard time leaving the room. "Goodnight mommy/daddy" ""lay down right here mommy/daddy" "I wuv you Mommy/Daddy/Bweckin" "come back" "I had fun" It is the cutest thing ever...Rick can't get enough of the way she says Daddy with every statement or request. And then she sleeps great through the night with rarely a peep. The mornings are too funny. She wakes up and doesn't cry or say a word...she begins her gathering of all the books, blankets, toys, animals she can find and makes a pile at the door. We open the door and are greeted with an immediate smile and then back to work. She often asks for help to relocate the said belongings. The piles get larger and there are contents of her room strung all over but it makes for peaceful mornings until we get dressed. We are so proud of her big girl sleeping habits and routine! Plus, the nightly ritual is just adorable!
