Why am I so tired?........

I am so grateful that I have a little boy who depends on me! I was just thinking this morning that I am extremely tired, and then I realized why. At 3:30 a.m. I felt a little hand touching me. I woke up to find Kade standing next to the bed. He grabbed my hand and walked me into his room, where he proceeded to set me on the floor right in front of his bed and climb back into bed. Every few minutes he would lift his little head and make sure I was still on the floor where he put me. And of course I was! Eventually he fell asleep, and so did I. I woke up around 6:00 when I heard Ryan getting ready for work to a dead shoulder from sleeping on the floor, debated whether I should go jump back into bed or not, looked at Kade's sleeping face and realized a little more time on the floor couldn't hurt me, when I was already in pain right?..... Then rolled over and fell back asleep. I am so grateful for those moments that I have as a mother! I know a lot of people would be irritated, and don't get me wrong waking up in the middle of the night is not my ideal night, but knowing that Kade feels safe and secure with me next to his bed makes me feel that I am doing a good job at being his MOTHER!
Kade, I love you more than you will ever know! Thank you for choosing me!
