Making me happy

In our house we have a rotation. It is a "sleeping with mommy rotation". Once upon a time both little boys (and sometimes all three) would crawl into bed and fall asleep with me at night. John then carried them back when he came to bed. But my little boys grew. And they grew and grew and grew. And they grew so big that the three of us just didn't fit all in one bed (comfortably) anymore. So now we rotate. Duncan, Cooper then Dad. Yes, Dad gets a turn (no comments from the peanut gallery). But what I find so beautiful is that each morning when I walk into my children's rooms to pet their face and kiss their cheek good morning, without even opening an eye they ask me "mom, who's turn is it to sleep with you tonight?" Ahh, to be the first thing they think of when they wake in the morning. It's powerful. It makes me feel like superwoman. It makes me smile. It won't always be this way, I know. That's okay. More testament to living right here, right now. Right now this moment each morning makes me happy.
