Being a mom...

... is waking up at 3am with your child who doesn't feel well and not caring about the lack of sleep. Carlee woke up at 3am with a slight fever this morning. She didn't want to go back to sleep. Instead we just snuggled in bed and watched cartoons for 3 hours before I had to go to work. While we laid there, I rubbed her back. When I stopped, she reached behind her and grabbed my hand and moved it back and forth so I'd start rubbing her back again. It was the cutest thing. Although I woke up at 3am, that was the best 3 hours spent in a long time!

Plus, how can I be mad at her!

Ah, who doesn't love massages from mommy! It is awful when they don't feel good, but those moments are priceless.
