Good Nights

As I do every evening I peeked in on Declan before heading off to bed myself. I snuck in, checked to see that he wasn't too hot or too cold, gently rubbed his back a little and then (after scooting the cat out of his room) headed out. Just as I got to the door I heard a soft voice "Mommy!" When I looked back Declan was still eyes shut tight but he stretched his arms and had a big smile on his face. I tiptoed back and gave him a kiss on his forehead. I whispered "love you Little Monkey" and he replied "Love you Mommy."

And with that, good night.
