Early bird gets the worm!

Posted on by | 5 Comments

This morning, I answered many questions about our upcoming trip to Florida. 

Emily made me recite our itinerary. 

She asked all the right questions.

It was an age appropriate conversation.  

When I reconfirmed that we couldn’t get a reservation for Cinderella’s table she was ok with it as she understood that other little girls get to experience what she did in 2008. 

As I told her how early we would get up every single day; she laughed. 

How early she asked?

Your kind of early… I answered… 

Like when there is no school…

You are one crazy early riser I continued…

To that she answered: Early bird gets the worm!

When it clicks

As I went to bed last night it hit me. 

It’s been a month or so since Emily decided to sleep in her own bed… In her room… With the door closed. 

I am so proud of her. 

We’ve tried on many occasions to get her to sleep in her bed but it didn’t work. 

I enjoyed sleeping next to her… I didn’t try really hard to move her to her bed. 

 

 It started when she she was 5 and ended last month. 

11 years later…

 It clicked. 

Just like that…

One night Emily asked me to tuck her in…

She asked me to call the Paw Patrol pups and to make a puppy pile at the feet of her bed… (We are using her webkinz) 

She asked me to sing Soft kitty…

And to close the door!  

 

Just like that, it clicked!

I didn’t force her. 

I didn’t lose any sleep over it. 

I allowed her to cuddle for as long as she needed and one day…

She moved out!  I wonder what else she will just do one day!
