Getting a full night sleep is something I LOVE to get. I don’t like when my sleep is interrupted. The only exception is when Hannah gets up in the middle of the night and can't go back to sleep. Gigi would wake me up by putting Hannah’s drooling mouth on my face and by that I know it is time to start my night shift. I would take Hannah out to the living room so Gigi can get some sleep and Hannah can get some daddy time.
After spending 30 minutes to an hour of entertaining her or walking around the house with her, she starts to get sleepy. And once she falls asleep, I would take her back to the room to put her down and continue my sleep.
This morning was a bit different. Hannah fell asleep in my arms while I was sitting on the couch. So instead of taking her back to the room, I just allowed her to sleep in my arms. It was such a precious time for me. I smiled every time as I stared at her face as little smiles will come on her face while she is sleeping. It was like I received a gift from God every time she smiled.
