SOLSC #14 - Good Night, I Love You,...

For the fourth year, I am participating in the SOLSC and guiding students from my classroom and my school on the same writing journey. Here is the link to our school blog and the 15-20 students who are participating in the Classroom Challenge.




Good Night, I Love You...

Every night, after putting my daughter to bed, we say the same thing. I'm standing in the door peeking in, she's cuddled up under her covers with more stuffed animals than God around her. How does a child end up with some many stuffed animals. I think we've given her maybe three in her life. 

"Good Night, I love You, Sleep Tight, See You in the Morning!"
"GoodnightIloveYouSleepTightSeeYouintheMorning!" She replies. "Tell Mom and the cats that."
"I will. You tell your stuffed animals."
"Okay."
"Love you."
"Love you."

It's just a few seconds each night, but no matter how fast or slow we say the words, they mean the world to me...and I hope to her.

  2. This is adorable! I have such fond bedtime routine memories with my mom and dad that I cherish at 25 and know I will forever.

  4. Great slice. Made me reflect on our bed time routines. Recently the little man has been asking me to come in and cuddle after books. Even though I have a million things to do, I go lay down with him. Soon he'll be too old for cuddles, I'm trying to make the most of the years when he's little. Gosh, I think I found my topic for tomorrows slice.
