Sweet Sleep
Don't let her sleep in your bed.
That's what I heard over and over after my
daughter was born. So I didn't unless she was sick. Now my baby is almost six and every night after we read and sing songs and turn off the light. I lie down with her before she falls asleepy. We whisper to each other and I watch her eyelids start to flutter. I smell her hair and kiss her foreheads. And I wish I had done this every night.
