I will miss this moment

          Earlier this evening, Rain was getting cranky because she couldn't get her sleep. Usually she sleeps at 8PM but after she got sick, her body clock changed. She now sleeps super early. I tried everything to help her sleep. Milk, breastfeeding, singing while rocking her, but nothing worked. She was tossing and turning in bed. Poor Rain, she looked so tired but for some reason she still couldn't sleep.

... until she climbed on my chest, lay there for a few minutes and then before I knew it she was in dream land :-)



          I was thinking of slowly placing her beside me on the bed because I wanted to get up and do some household stuff while she was asleep. But then I paused. I'm sure a few years from now (which I'm pretty sure will arrive before I know it) when Rain grows into a kid ... eventually into early teen... when she can't be bothered with her extracurricular activities or checking her social sites (whatever replaces Facebook or Twitter ) or whatever teens do in her time... when she is too big to sleep on my chest or even cuddle with me in bed... I know I will look back to this moment and regret putting her down on the bed so quickly.
So I let her sleep on top of me until she started squirming and seemed to want to lay on her back.

          These are the simple peaceful moments I don't want to let pass by :-)

It hurts to know that I will miss this moment in the future. If only I can freeze time :')
