I Love Kissing Her Toasty Little Cheeks November 4, 2008
Posted by Emily in : Daily Life, Family, Princess Hannah, Utah , trackbackDid 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.

That is so cute! I hear you- our basement is like 30 degrees colder than upstairs! I hate it!
looks cozy! the writing in the sky was called “sky typing”. just like sky writing but done a bit differently.
Emily please post an address where Maddie and I can send Hannah some Jammies !!! Carters has the warm sleepers at Costco with the feet in them.
LOL love the picture of her getting ready for bed!! Too funny. That is how my parents basement is. We hate sleeping there in the winter.
Shannon, you are too funny! My mom mentioned the same thing to me! I should let her buy Hannah some warmer pj’s, but in a few weeks well be back at David’s parents house and their house is like a sauna!
Thanks for thinking of us!
