The sweetest little angle puts me to bed

I get tired before Clair most nights. My girl still loves to spend time with me before bed. Often we are playing games and sometimes we are snuggling or talking or watching something. For years she’s liked if she has the chance to tuck me in. I think this started when I would return from Poland and be wrecked and in bed by 8. It used to be rare, but I give into the idea more often now that I know she really can’t get to sleep before 10 pm or so. 

Last night was one of these nights. We were downstairs and she knew I was wrecked. She grabbed me by the hand and said “come on Mommy let’s put you to bed.”  We stopped to get water and she made sure I had everything I needed and walked me up the stairs. After I brushed my teeth and used the bathroom she tucked me into bed. She made sure all my devices were turned down and far enough away they would not distract me. She got me ice for my burnt finger and she tucked me under the covers. She snuggled me for a bit. We said prayers. Then she gets up, turns out the lights and sing a me a couple songs whilst rubbing my arm. 

She was an angle and I think I was asleep right after she left me. She’s the sweetest little thing. 

I’m so grateful.
