That little grin, and twinkling eye.

Anyone who has young children, knows what a challenge it is to get a decent nights sleep. I love my sleep, and rarely get enough of it. It's worth it, but a good night of sleep would probably do wonders for me.

7 a.m. "Mommy, wake up." My two year old. Her bed's in our room. The door is shut. She has nothing to do but stare at the ceiling. I can't just let her sit there.

The first thought that enters my mind, "7 o'clock, are you kidding me?"

I force my eyes open. There's that little face, staring at me so intently. We make eye contact, and there's the little grin, and the twinkle in her eye. "Mommy, good morning." It makes it all worth while.

Noticing the small things in life.
