Falling Asleep with Paisley

I suddenly have perspective on this situation with Paisley. She has successfully stayed in her bed for 11 nights! She has woken up three times for water or to ask to come to bed but she has gone back with a little help to her own bed. This makes me MUCH more patient at bedtime.

I have been lying with her, rubbing her legs, arms, back, and head as she requests. Watching her fall asleep quite easily and peacefully. She breathes so deep still just as she did as a babe. Her little chubby cheeks still red from the day but she is relaxed fully. It is becoming the best time of day.....

it helps too knowing I won't see her again until a.m. :)
