Last
night I woke as I was constantly coughing. I couldn't sleep anymore. I
just sat up in bed and was going on and on. Absolutely no control on
it. Even a missile launch beside him cannot wake your Dad but he will
converse with you in sleep though.
I
felt a pair of hands rubbing my back gently. It was You. You were
asking me groggily, 'mamma, do you need some water? Do want to throw up?
Do you want to go to the washroom?
I
turned on the lights to see you sitting up in bed, hands still rubbing
my back and eyes still shut in sleep. You even asked your Dad for
Honitus (cough syrup)who was still sleeping. You are 5 and a half years
old...sitting there and caring for me. :)
When
I was about to be mom, I read all about mid night waking for years. . . to
change diapers and medicines and putting baby to bed.
No parenting book put THIS on it...the child waking to check on me.
I was never too kicked
about being a parent until I had You. Not that I am crazy about kids now
or that I go all goo goo...
But if there are parents out there to be...just make sure you get an Aaliyah version. Love you Aal.
