Babies...

I must say that for me one of the nicest things to see is my kids happily asleep.  It is amazing to see them totally relaxed and comfortable.  On the other hand if they cry themselves to sleep it is kind of sad because my kids at least whimper almost all night.

My daughter Andrea is so easy to get to sleep.  She is an angel.  We put her down and after a bit of rolling and playing she is usually asleep.  Sometime she just lays down gives a sigh of satisfaction is instantly asleep.  That blows me away.  It is a blessing for me to see my children so happy.  That is a huge refuge for me.  Those quite moments are amazing.

I hope that they can always rest so peacefully.  Sometimes it is hard with kids as they get a bit older but I think that it isn't to bad when we really help them with a good schedule and support and stability.  That is something else that amazes me.  My 8 month old baby knows the routine.  Wake up from a good nights rest.  Eat, play and then sleep.  Wake up, play, eat and rest again.  Do that a few times and back to bed for the night.  She lets us know when something is out of line from the routine.  That is amazing, the support and comfort they have from solid routine.  They want to be trained into patterns.  I guess this is human nature, get a good pattern and stick with it!
