Oh that girl

For a couple months Miriam was being an all-star sleeper.  She would sleep from 8-12 hours uninterrupted. 

The last few nights have been a different story.  Multiple times during the dark hours I find myself in her room frustrated, discouraged and even angry.

But ultimately it doesn't matter if she wakes me three times, six times, or a dozen times.

In the morning when I go to her room to retrieve her from her crib she grins at me.

And all is forgiven.

Oh the power of that morning smile.
