When Shawn is away, Reilly always asks to sleep in "mommy and daddy's bed." When she asked to do so last night, I told her that she had to be a big girl and sleep in her own bed, an answer which had the effect of turning on her waterworks.
I waited through about five minutes of her crying before I relented and carried her over to our room.
When I put her in bed, she asked me to stay with her for a minute. "Just one minute," I said, and eased myself in next to her.
A few minutes later she had settled in and the room was quiet, except for a quiet whirring from the overhead fan. It was then that she rolled on her side to face me and said, "I love you, daddy."
How could you let her go back to her own bed after that!?!
