The past two mornings Gillian has woken up early. On Saturday she woke up crying. She told Daddy “I scared!” Since it was only 6, Daddy brought her into our bed. She snuggled up next to me. But she tossed and turned and never found a comfortable spot. So Gillian and I got up and went downstairs to play.

This morning Daddy got up with the dog and went downstairs to play his video game. He heard some footsteps on the stairs. He thought it was just John ( he is my early riser), but then he heard someone fall and start crying. Daddy found Gillian on the living room floor holding her blanket (manket). Daddy brought her upstairs to me and again Gillian snuggled up next to me. Before I knew it we were both asleep. John came in around 7:30 and tapped me on the forehead. I sent him downstairs to find Daddy. Gillian and I slept a little longer. By 8:30, Gillian was now horizontal on our bed and still sound asleep. She did not wake up until Duncan decided to join us.

I am loving all of this special time with my little girl, but I hope this has no become part of our daily routine. We will see what tomorrow brings.
