Amaris decides when it's time to go to sleep.

Today around 5PM she opted to take a nap. She didn't bother to let me know, she just went off down the hall unannounced and into our bedroom. She carefully took the pillows down from Mark's side of the bed and then tucked herself (and "B") in cozily and ventured off to dreamland.

Usually when the house gets quiet, I enjoy the peace for a few minutes and then realize that she is probably making trouble somewhere. This was one of those times. And then I found her looking absolutely as peaceful and as cozy as she possibly could have there in bed and my heart just completely swelled with adoration.



Sometimes being a mom really is the best job in the world.

As an added bonus, instead of her usual crabby mood upon waking up, she woke up and came bouncing down the hall in good spirits. I'm grateful for days like these.
