Soon it will be time to transition from toddler to twin.
My growing girl is getting to that age. The age of the bed change.
Confident she’s ready, I pulled together plans for a room theme, a headboard and a mattress purchase.
Tonight. Just now. She fell out of bed!
Down in the kitchen, I heard the clatter.
No call to mommy, instead on her bedroom-cam I view my girl climbing back into her toddler bed and falling immediately back to sleep.
Peace barely interrupted.
The water so soft on your head.
Lay down.
Rest.
Tonight sleep in the bath.
Abby dreamed it could be so.
I like to call it the spy-cam but that sounds a bit sneaky.
It’s a humor-cam. It’s a comfort-cam. It’s an “I wonder”-cam.
Not only does it show a girl in restful sleep, but also the sweet play of that toddler when she’s up from her slumber.
Trying on boots and coddling babies. Reading and rearranging. Emptying drawers and exploring in her dollhouse.
It’s my eye on imagination and my assurance of peace.
It’s my smile-cam.
Laughing to myself I ran for the camera.
Abby had put her bears on the tables and covered them; prepped to rest for the day.
She was leaving for school and they could now nap.
