The lone word muttered twice by my sleeping beauty.
I went in to check on Layla as I always do before going to bed myself. She was turned around in bed so I gently lifted her to put her back in the right direction. As I did, she woke up for a brief moment and said, "hug."
She then turned onto her side and, I thought, immediately fell back asleep.
However, a couple of seconds later she fluttered her eyes and muttered "hug" as she rolled onto her back.
I bent down to give her a hug. She wrapped one arm around me, gently patted me on the back, then promptly fell asleep.
Such a sweet moment.
I have to say, I'm quite proud to be the mommy of a little girl whose first thought is to ask for a hug after being awakened from a sound slumber :-)

So sweet! And, I can't believe how easily she goes to bed! I need to learn from you.
Don't jinx me! I honestly don't know what we did. Aside from that first nap in her big-girl bed, she's only gotten out once without us going in to get her. That was just two nights ago and I'm not sure what that was all about.
I'm not holding my breath for things to be so easy with Piper.
