The Ozmerican Life

Keira pulled an all nighter....sleeping that is!

I was startled awake two nights ago at 4am by a little fuss...looked at the clock...4am! That's the longest she has gone. I was especially happy because I had to work and it's always nice to get a good night's sleep before a day at work. I was on my way to get up to feed her and then silence. Well if she is quiet I thought, I suppose I'll let her sleep..so back to bed I went and that was it for the night until Nathan woke her up at 7. What a little star. Although it's quite weird to think I've had my last night time feeding. Keira is everything for the last time. A happy sadness. My sweet Little Miss Keira, I will miss your smiles in the wee morning hours.

I am so excited to watch my kids grow up to see who they will become and what they will do...but with this comes the last of everything. Some things I will miss...and others not. The things I will miss I am enjoying and will always remember (or at least try.)....the first smiles, they way their faces scrunch up and make the cutest faces, the way they stay tucked in a ball even when you pick them up, sleeping everywhere and anywhere in the strangest positions, the first time their little fingers wrap around yours... the list is endless!! The things I can't wait to be done with I will be dancing with gladness when they are done...Potty Training for one...I despise it!! (I was going to say hate but I know as soon as my kids can read this I would be reminded that we don't say "hate" in this house :)
