Pressing pause

This was an eventful week at our house. Coco is sleeping in her new room, in her "big girl" bed. Tonight is Baby E's first night in her crib. Also, Coco informed us she no longer wanted to wear one-piece pyjamas, they're for Baby E (heartbreak). Time is going by too fast.  Add onto that Coco falling and hitting the corner of her eye on the coffee table resulting in a black eye just in time for Easter (trips to the paediatrician and the wonderful ophthalmologists at the Children's Hospital have confirmed her eye is fine)... Let's just say "Maman" is feeling a little clingy.  So when independent Coco, after getting out of bed 5 times for whatever excuse she could think of, asked me to snuggle and stay in bed with her, I gave in pretty easily. It was a blissful half hour of not caring that I wouldn't be making much progress on my never-ending to-do list, that I might be creating a "bad habit" (not sure that wanting to snuggle to sleep is a bad habit but not always possible when I'm on my own in the evening and have to put both girls to bed). These little moments will be gone too soon. Soon, the little hand on my cheek won't be so tiny anymore so tonight I pressed "pause"... my dryer might be full and my laundry baskets overflowing, but so is my heart. ♥
