Late night conversations

It's hard to resist this cute face when she wants to stay up late talking. Halle tends to get scared at night so I have made a habit of lying down with her till she falls asleep, or I lay on the floor next to her bed. Tonight I told her after story time and talking she needs to start learning to fall asleep on her own. So I scooted to the door and told her each night I'll move a little further away from her bed and room until I'm out of he room and she's falling asleep on her own. But when Halle came to sit by me and said "mom, let's talk" I couldn't resist! Pretty soon she was telling me all about a movie she watched today and I was snapping off pictures of how cute she looks in her PJs. 

I love our little late night conversations. It's when she really opens up to me. And I hope (even though she won't always need me to lay with her because she is scared) that we can continue our little conversations at night as a special little one on one time for us. It makes me happy when she hugs me at night at says "mommy is my best friend" in her cute little voice. I tell her we will always be best friends! I sure love my girl!
