Night Night My Sweet Prince

It is 9:30pm. An hour and a half after I put my oldest to bed. I am cleaning up and getting ready for bed and I hear him come out of his room. There he is with his favorite blankie and paci in tow. I walk over to him and bend down to pick him up to put him back in his bed and he whispers, "sleep in Mommy's bed?" How could I say no? I carry him in our room and tuck him in, kiss his forehead and tell him to go "night night". I finish what I am doing in the living room and turn off the lights. I then climb in bed, careful not to wake him or my youngest asleep in his crib next to the bed. I can hear them both breathing in and out. Peacefully sleeping... or so I thought. I lean over to kiss my sweet toddler and rub my fingers through his hair. I then hear him say in a sweet quiet voice, "Awwwww Mommy. I wub you! Night night." My heart just melts and I smile.

How did I get this lucky?
