Well by the time I read this Ashley, my youngest is off deep in dreamland clutching his favorite stuffed Spiderman. He's a big boy now (all of 6, dontcha know LOL) but explains away his need to have this cuddle toy but saying very seriously "momma Spiderman keeps away bad dreams, he's not sleeping with me!, he's on nightshift!" Omg they say the cutest things!

I went in though, dropped a kiss on his cheek and remembered to thank God for him and all my kiddo's. Thanks for the reminder though.

It's so hard as a parent to be torn between kids like you've just gone through. You have to be with the one that needs you the most at the time, but it's never easy knowing the other one is missing you and needing you too in their own way. Nobody ever tells you about this stuff before you have kids do they.
