at 11:30 tonight Sarah brought the girls in to spend the night. No one was going to get any rest otherwise...Mikyla was all squiggley and wasn't about to rest unless she was here at my house. So.. without calling the bomper, she got to stay.
When she and her sister came in, Mallory went straight to bed, but Mikyla had to pause and give me a hug and kiss and then show me her little magnetic phones that she'd gotten today, then she had me put on a movie.. "George of the Jungle".. and wahlah, she got into my bed, happy as a clam beside Mallory and as I sit here typing, she's over there watching the movie.
I just glanced over at her and she didn't see me watching, she was engrossed in the movie, just smiling the sweetest smile...I think she was about to cackle when she noticed me watching and so she just kept smiling, though her smile turned sheepish. I smiled back and asked her if it was a funny part.
"Yes", she said, "Mammy that was pretty funny."
She went back to her movie and I came back to my typing. I think I'll remember that moment of joy and that smile for all of my life. How sweet. :)
