A year ago, I posted this video and all I could think about was how much I hated bedtime.
The stalling.
The excuses.
The endless requests.
The fact that getting one small human to sleep somehow felt harder than my entire workday.
But this video popped up in my memories recently, and I saw it differently.
Look at her.
So little.
So innocent.
So excited to squeeze in one more story, one more cuddle, one more conversation before the day ends.
She isn’t trying to drive me crazy.
She is trying to spend a few extra minutes with her mom.
Here’s your reminder:
The things that test our patience today might be the things we miss tomorrow.
The bedtime battles.
The million questions.
The tiny voice calling your name one more time.
Take the picture.
Record the video.
Pause for the cuddle.
Because one day, they’ll stop asking.
And we’d probably give anything for “just one more story” again ❤️🥹
