SOMETIMES I CALL IT NIGHTMARES!!!!!!!!!! (While sleeping with your little one)

You go to any part of the world children always love to sleep with their parents. We as mothers feel very insecure to let our kids sleep away from us until they are a little old.

The day I brought her home from the hospital everyone at home was so thrilled including me of course. Then it was night. And with the darkness came the much needed deep rested sleep. I watched as one by one everyone around me slipped into the crazy and colorful world of dreams. I was with my little one playing and doing all possible things so that she sleeps. Well, I thought it’s just a night. 

Actually, “No” it went on for few months.

Slowly, things changed as she grew older. Nights are not always about changing diapers or feeding. It can be great fun too.

I am a sleep lover. That’s when I realized I need a new bed. And the first thought that comes to mind when I think of sleep is a nice king sized bed with a high mattress, the bouncy types.

 It was a tiring day as usual for me and a boring day for Anika. Finally there came our sleeping time. Anika and I sleep together. I couldn't wait to jump on to our new bed and feel like a Queen. After all these amazing glittery feelings around me, still remembered that I must feed her at night when she asks for.

After my lorry and lullaby, my little girl goes to sleep. Maybe it was a new bouncy bed or it was my tiring day I fell asleep in seconds. Suddenly I realized I was moved to the corner of the bed while Anika takes over. She almost pushed me to the edge of the bed. I put her back to her place and went back to my colorful dreams. Just after a while, I woke up to feed her as usual I saw she was not in her place. For a minute, I thought I was dreaming.  Now, opened my eyes wide and searched for her. Wanted to know where she rolled herself.

“Aaaaaaahhh”, there she is!!!

She was exactly opposite to where I was sleeping. One small turn could have rolled down.  Immediately, put her back on her place. Finally after feed, I thought this is the perfect time to sleep. I close my eyes and still feeling very great to sleep on my new bed. Few hours and I was awake again.

Now, I got a nice whack from her on my back. I realized pitying myself, ”Oh Dear!!! 

This happens”. Now, put her back to sleep kissed on her forehead and still felt great. I felt so good maybe because of those little eyes which is sleeping so well thinking of so many beautiful things. May be she was thinking how to climb on that chair or how to open the fridge door. I could see all the naughtiness when she was asleep.

Mothers are gifted with so much patience and tons of love for their children. They test your patience to an extent. When they say, “sorry” you forget what happened last minute. They cry but it`s sad that we cry along with them. I guess each day with your child makes you a happier person. Every day spent is unforgettable. You want to write somewhere, call someone and tell them what your kids did today or even love them more for that.  The strongest fact still remains the same which says, “Children are the biggest gift from God”. And we as parents treasure this every minute in our lives.

As they say,”When a child is born so is the mother”.
