Bed time



Bed time to a lot of people is just rolling over and snore. However, bed time for me and the girls are more than that. It's a time that I enjoyed the most. It's a time of waking up in the morning, looking into each others eyes, feeling the love we have for each other and laughing silly for no particular reason at all. It's a time before we close our eyes, saying "au revoir" to the good day we had and knowing there is someone loving you so much even in your sleep.

Princess S, she is usually the first to wake up in the morning amongst the 3 of us. However, she has this incredible bed-manners.... she will put her head back down to her pillow if she saw K & I are still snoring away. I usually pretend to sleep, wanting to know if she is up to any mischief thinking that I was still asleep, but NO... she will lie down there quietly till I go "Hey Serenity, GOOD MORNING.... do you want to jump into bed next to me?" You will then see that instant million dollars smile on her face, sparkle in her eyes saying "YUP!". Next thing you know she is snuggling under my arms, allowing me to wrap her up like an extra pillow. Her fresh morning scent is what I like to smell. I will usually give her a peck on the cheek and sniff behind her ears... that always throws her into a laughing spasm (it really take very little for her to laugh or smile, & I love her for that... she makes me laugh and smile by doing that)... this laughter to us is our "action" of telling each other "I LOVE YOU!".. with this "love" we usually wake K up and sharing more love... This is usually how we wake up in the weekend (weekdays though is usually more hectic, since it is usually "rush hour")

Princess K, on the other hand, do not like to go to bed. To her, somehow means she is missing out on a lot of her imaginary "exciting stuffs" the adults are enjoying after she goes to bed. She will usually beg and beg and beg for me to stay in bed with her for a while after bed time story and even after S is snoring away.

This, however is a priceless time. This is the time where Princess K will open up herself and telling things which she usually will keep so deeply in her heart.... it's our "secrets" time :-) She will usually pour her feeling out and telling me things that she will not tell anyone else. "It's our secret" she said, and I believe her.

This time round in NZ, I enjoyed these moments so immensely. They bring joy and closeness to all 3 of us. 1 same bedroom with 3 different fuzzy warm feelings. Can't wait for the next session....I love our bed time....
