Motherly moment
One of my favorite times of the day is checking on the girls one last time before I go to bed. I straighten their blankets and kiss them on the cheek and talk to them even though they are sleeping. I'll tell Lizzie that I'm so proud of her and that I love her and sometimes she whispers back that she loves me. It's so sweet.
Last night I went in as usual and made sure Lizzie was covered up and I went over to Julia's crib and smoothed her hair back and leaned down and kissed her. In a really quiet voice she said, "and a hug?" so I bent down to lift her up and hug her and I bonked her head with my forhead. In slow motion she reached up and touched her head and started to whimper. Smooth one mom! I felt so awful and yet at the same time couldn't help but laugh a little at the fact that I woke my own daughter up with a head butt. She started to really cry and I lifted her out of her crib to comfort her for a bit and she kept saying, "Mama hurt me." I'm feeling pretty bad at this point. When she calmed down I laid her back down and she said, "and a hug?" and I said "you still want a hug?" I'm thinking, are you sure that's kind of a gamble. So I reached down and carefully hugged her before I left the room. It was still a sweet moment and I chuckled as I left the room.
