I got a special treat last night though. I was completely alert when Zoë rolled over and mumbled in her mostly asleep voice "I love you," as she wrapped her arms around me. I said "I love you too" and kissed her head. She turned and kissed what she thought was me (but was actually a pillow). We repeated the exchange a few times before she rolled over and wrapped my arm around her tummy. "You got me?" she asked? "I got you," I replied.
And secretly, that's one of the main reasons she's not sleeping in her big girl bed yet. I would be missing moments like that. And these days, as she becomes increasingly intent on asserting both her independence and her extremely strong will, those moments are all the more precious.

Such a pretty moment! I'm so glad you take the time to write things like this!
Insomnia makes for some great moments. I miss insomnia. And I'm glad we're not the only parents who let their kid sleep in their bed.
So darling. I like how you write about insomnia in a positive light. I do get some positive thinking/planning done during insomniatic moments as well.
That is too cute! I love moments like that.
I laughed hysterically when I read about how Zoe kissed the pillow. I don't know why it was so funny to me maybe because I am sleep deprived after working four nights in a row.
