I can always tell when Isabelle is finally ready to sleep. She almost always curls up towards me, or climbs over to lie on me with her head buried on my chest. Of course occassionally, she will toss and turn on her own and lull herself to sleep.
What I am most amazed is what happens in the middle of the night/early mornings. Somehow... in the midst of all the sleepiness, Isabelle will climb over me...and I in my blurness will reach out to help her, and both of us will sleep in an embrace, her head resting warmly on my chest as I rub her back or stroke her head. It's not the most comfortable position to sleep in honestly. I get backaches lying on my back. But still the feeling of waking up to my baby hugging & cuddling me, its an awesome feeling. I feel at peace, happy, thankful, grateful. I feel love just from this simple embrace. How I wish she would hug me forever this way, and in years to come.
