A Mommy's Girl

This is how I found my 4 year old one night.  After putting the kids to bed, as most parents I go downstairs to do other things before I go to bed.

Also like in most homes, I hear little feet upstairs after tucking them in.  Now usually when Ava looks for me and I am not in my bedroom she will come downstairs.  When I heard her get up I thought she was just going to the bathroom since she didn't come down.  When the door to her room didn't close I thought she wanted to leave it open a little like Her big sister does.

Imagine my panic when I walked past her room on my way to brush my teeth and she wasn't there.  I actually thought she went with Katherine.  When she wasn't there I panicked a bit.  Then I found her on my bed like this.  Her toy horse she loves next to her face.  Not covered up.  I had to take a picture.

The next day she told me she wanted to sleep with Mama.  So little one just lay there waiting for me to come in.  I just hope she always loves me and wants to be close to me.
