Nigh Nigh Mommy

So, I have rocked Mya to sleep for a very long time now. And the other day we were sitting down in the rocking chair to take a nap and Mya just didn't want to settle down. I said to her "Do you want me to just lay you down in your bed?" And to my amazement she said "Yes." I then gave her a love and a kiss and said "goodnight." I stood by the door for a very long time and when I finally got up the courage to look in her room she was asleep. I was in shock, she hasn't fallen asleep on her own since she was a little baby. It was so bitter-sweet, I was so happy that she fell asleep on her own but then I love being able sit there and hold her. She is so busy playing during the day that there isn't much time to sit and cuddle. My little girl is growing up way too fast. I have found that I have to enjoy every minute because those minutes go by so darn fast. Before I know it she will be going to pre-school, so scary!
