Every night before I go to sleep I come to whisper sweet dreams. Its a ritual, you are all the last thing I see before sleep consumes me and the first thing I look at before daylight even has a chance to nudge me awake.
I stroke your hair, cover your toes, lay kisses laden with love on your three, smooth, innocent cheeks. The quarrels of the day are quickly forgotten and all that remains is the warm glow that heats my soul as I softly whisper ‘goodnight’.
The silence of night time lies gently in our home, I can watch you slumber, stare wide eyed in wonder at the knowledge that all of you three beautiful creatures came from inside me. I wanted you, I grew you, and I have loved you all to the moon and back again.
I look at you, and I ache with an all consuming sense of adoration.
Sleep tight my dreaming babies, mummy loves you very much.
And as they grow, the love grows with you. My older two are 21 and 19, and my youngest 11, and each day that love still grows. They will always be my babies.
do you still watch them sleep?????
Very beautifully put! That’s my favourite time of the day!
Mine too!!!!!!
such a lovely post, I could watch my wee man sleep for hours
me too x
Ahhhhh ! I like sneaking in and watching them sleep – it’s a really special time. and then I leg it before I wake them and the mayhem begins again!
oh the fairytale is runined if they wake!
That was lovely, I was expecting a funny joke at the end though. You fooled me 🙂 xxx
I could tell a knock knock joke?
Beautiful x

Beautifully put – It’s universal I think and I still feel the same when I see my 19 year old sleeping. Once I avert my eyes from the state of her room anyway x
ha! my floor is covered in toys x
I love watch my daughter sleeping!!! She is already 5 but i can’t stop going to her room and stand still 5 minutes just watching her sleeping and dreaming… I think i will do it forever!! 🙂
Hehe good luck with that….. X
That brought tears to my eyes…my two favourite things are watching them sleeping and holding their hands. Can’t imagine ever stopping doing either x
Time is a.big fat meany
You should write that out in ink for them to have as a keepsake. I sometimes worry that I love my children more when they’re asleep because you’re right, the days tempests evaporate (and they can’t answer back).
Exactly, I adore mine when they sleep x
Aaaah just when I think youve a heart of stone there you surprise me…..
did I say Boo?
