Roommates

Feeling a little nostalgic right now. Just realized that today marks a transition in Cody, Anna, and my life. And, if I had realized that yesterday would be the last day of experiencing these moments, I would have soaked it all in a little better and savored it to its fullest one last day. You see, today the bunk beds arrived. And as silly as it may sound, it just dawned on me that Cody and my snuggle time before he drifts off to sleep has probably just been ended as he has taken to top bunk residency, and Anna and my routine of rocking in her chair before laying her to bed has probably ended also as she now shares the same bedtime routine as Cody. It was sort of a sad moment for me when I realized that this bonding time was coming to a close. Even at the hospital yesterday as Cody was given his sleepy/happy medicine by the nurse he sleepily whispered to me to lay with him and rest with him, cuddling my hand and arm against his cheek and chest. I even made the excuse that I hadn’t bought twin size sheets yet, so maybe we should wait to let them sleep in them. Shawn laughed at my pathetic plea. Anna came strolling in the room lugging her pillow in from behind, and Cody kept shouting, “I just love my new bed!” It seemed I was out voted. Right now I can hear them quietly giggling in their room together. Such a sweet sound.
