Wanting Quality Time

Medyo sad post ulit...

The Hubby and I find it hard to sleep these past 3 nights. Not that we can’t sleep because we had been so tired we can sleep even while standing. It’s just that Amber won’t sleep right away.

Dati naman, even if she woke up late from her afternoon nap, she will still sleep when we go up to the room and turn the lights off.

I asked Tita Renee what changed in Amber’s schedule that made her so hyper-active in the evening but she said there’s nothing she can remember. I asked her if she gave her sweets, hindi naman daw.

She would come to us then run away squealing with delight as if we are running after her. In the end, we’ll just really run after her so as not to disappoint her.

Then last night, we were already lying down. Amber pulled her Daddy up because she wants him to dance with her. Daddy, with his partly opened eyes obliged, although too tired. They have some sort of a choreographed move. Daddy will turn and swing her around then lift her up as if they are ballet or contemporary dancers.

They are so cute to look at but I’m as tired and sleepy that I just curled up in my blanket. As I was about to drift off, I heard Amber said, “Mommy, sing! Mommy, sing!!!”.

She wanted me to sing while they dance.

Then Hubby meaningfully looked at me and I understood.

Amber was trying to get more time from us to spend with her. That even if she, herself looked sleepy, she refused to sleep just yet.

Made us a little guilty for not spending enough time with her and wanting to instantly hit the sack as soon as we get home. L
