I want to remember rocking Clair to sleep at bedtime.

One of the absolute best feelings in all the world is the one where my child lays her head on my shoulder at the end of the day, snuggles in close, her warm body fitting perfectly up against a mine, feeling her breathing softly, snuggling into me as I rock her to sleep while I sing softly to her and breath in the smell of her soft skin and her feel her soft little curls rub against my face. It is heaven!  

When I'm really lucky, she rubs my arms with her little fingers as she holds into my shoulders. 

So often bedtime is rushed and a fight because she wants to play or crawl around or just keep going. But once in a while she will relax for this peaceful snuggle. These are the moments I would relive for eternity if I could. Knowing they are slipping away saddens me. I know it's the right thing as they grow into little people, but if I could bottle these times, I would. 

I love you little Clair bear.
