What's the best sound a parent can hope to hear? The sound of a snoring child, fast asleep, peacefully? The sound of chattering children playing happily in their play corner? The sound of someone else's child yelling?!?
This evening, I had one of those moments.
Mathena had to go see a GP for her consistent cough (compliments from her daddy!) which now sounds phlegmy! So after dinner, she had the privilege of staying up a little later to go see her Doctor (the Drs here open till late, yippee!!). When she returned (all sweaty and puffed), she asked for Letitia, who is by now sound asleep after a FULL day of activities. I told her that her "Cheh-cheh is in bed asleep!"
Mathena's sweetest words to my ears were, "Mommy, may I go to sleep too?"
(Sigh! What manners, what sweetness, what joy! Dare I deny her of such a polite request?)
