To think I could stay awake infinitely just to stare at my child’s face?

Let me start by saying.. I’m a low-iron, serial napping, heavy eyed sleepy girl 24/7. Always tired.. love bedtime.

HOWEVER I don’t know what it is. Both of them. They’re 5 & 3 and half the time they’re testing my every nerve. But the second they fall asleep? Their angelic peaceful faces make me not want to fall asleep at all. I could stare at their face all night and not blink.. and that annoys me because tomorrow I’ll be even more tired.. and I have to orangish their toys so I have a BIG day.

I love waking mine up with light kisses in the morning. What a joy it is to love someone as much as I think most of us love our children.. we just to remind us when they are testing our nerves 😄

I still watch DS asleep sometimes. I think it's mum joy, makes my heart sing looking at his beautiful face snoozing away, he's still at the age where his soft toys are all tucked in around him!

Mine are tween/teen and I still look at them when they are asleep and admire their utter gorgeousness.
