I Love Kissing Her Toasty Little Cheeks November 4, 2008
Posted by Emily in : Daily Life, Family, Princess Hannah, Utah , 5commentsDid I mention my parents basement is FREEZING cold? Because it is. During our first night here, I checked on Hannah more than three times during the night, (which is totally not typical for me to do, but because it was so cold, I was worried about her) which probably classifies me as a ‘neurotic’ mother.
When I checked on her around 4:00 AM, I found her lying down horizontally on the bed, in the fetal position, shivering, with no blankets.
At that moment, I secretly thanked myself for being a ‘neurotic’ mother.
After repositioning her in the bed and wrapping her in 27 blankets, I went back to bed.
In the morning, I had a chat with my parents about the Arctic temperature they set the thermostat to. I kindly let them know we prefer more of a Caribbean temperature. Hannah now sleeps with a jacket on (I had to buy this jacket specifically for her to sleep in and when I gave it to her, I pitched it as her ‘Dora Night Night jacket.’ Heaven knows she would NEVER wear a jacket to bed that she wore to the park, or store, or around the house.)
She also sleeps with a space heater and like 34 blankets.
I’m so happy to kiss her toasty little cheeks in the morning.
