I have been noticing a new habit in my life. We usually put Soren to bed around 9:00pm. Our routine is to brush his teeth, put on a nighttime diaper (does one really exist that works completely?), read about 3 stories, say prayers, give kisses and hugs and then layer about 3-4 blankets on top of the little man just the way he likes it. He LOVES blankets.
So what's the new habit? I go back in do it again.
Well, not the whole thing. Just the kisses and blankets. If Soren is not asleep in about 30-40 minutes I pop back in his room "to get something I need". This make him pop up his little head. I go over to his bed, layer on the blankets, and cup his little cheek with my hand for a few seconds, and then say "I love you, Pickle" again.
I know it may sound crazy to some parents, but I miss him when he goes to sleep (my husband even thinks I am crazy sometimes). He is just so sweet and I love being near him.
