A big milestone

I am sitting on the floor next to the couch where Violet fell asleep (by choice) without milkies for the first time. She really wanted to try and sleep on her own. She did ask me to sit with her till she fell asleep which I was more than happy to do. She wrestled with the desire to nurse many times and I told her we could go to our family bed and nurse if she wanted. She wanted to sleep on the couch though. It took her an hour and a half to fall asleep. She is snuggled with her kitties and stayed close to the edge because she wanted to be close to me. 
You did it Violet and I'm so happy for you! I love you baby, I mean BIG girl!

Our sweet flower has a fever

Violet has been sick the last 2 days. She's been so kind and loving too. Tonight she told me "If I were big enough I'd reach up in the sky and give you the moon. I get all the stars and clouds and the moon and bring them to you. Then I'd put them in your mouth and they would go straight down to your heart."

Then as I carried her down from the lift bed she looked in my eyes and said "Mommy, I've fallen in love with you. You are so kind." I told her I'd fallen in love with her the day she was born and never stopped. On fact the minute I knew she existed. She patted my face and smiled sheepishly. 
Oh this girl steals my heart.
