silence

sleeping

The unlikely pair have escaped outside.
The other one is in her bed, reading.
The ‘baby’ is asleep on the couch, one leg sticking out from under the blanket.

I know I should wake him.

I can feel bed time getting harder and harder the longer I listen to his sleeping breath.

But the silence… oh the silence.

  1. oh yeah…today my oldest was at kindy and my 2yo fell asleep on the couch… I traded 2 hours of silent bliss for what ever the hell I’m in for tonight!

  2. I find waking my little one is hard, he doesn’t take kindly to it at all. If given a choice, I’d rather enjoy the peace now and deal with the night when it comes.

  3. Oh, i can so relate to that feeling…sometimes when it is a great nap day i leave the toddler twosome….knowing i should wake them as night sleep will be robbed….but so hard as the silence is oh so lovely….
