SleepTightMackenzie

Saturday night Mackenzie very definitely stated that she is ready to sleep in her room, by herself. Just as soon as Dad puts her bed together. Sunday, Dad put her bed together.

Afterwards she was so excited. She got on her bed. Told everyone she wanted to be alone in her room. On her bed. She told Dad she was proud of him for putting her bed together and said Thank You. She pondered over what she might want to put in the different drawers.

Come bedtime, I laid down with her. She made a nervous comment or two. Suggested that perhaps I could sleep on her rug. Or in her bed for that matter. She wanted the light on. But she fell asleep despite herself. In her bed.

I don't know yet if she'll make it all night. But tonight I am proud of her. She's three years and ten months. I was sure she would cosleep until she left home. Just kidding. Yet, cosleeping has sure I sit here been her nature.

I'm not going to lie. I feel a little teary. I will be nothing more than excited for her and proud of her whether she makes it all night, an hour or five. Still, she often wakes me up by saying I love you Momma. And that I will miss.

Sleep tight my precious little girl! Momma loves you too. Like absolute crazy and so much more than you will ever know.
