In keeping with my "remembering" theme--

We used to get the air mattresses out on Saturday nights and "camp out" in the living room. We would eat popcorn and watch a movie. Princess usually passes out pretty early and then it was just the three of us. It was a lot of fun until sleep issues came up for Princess and we had to move our party back to her room so she could get to sleep.

Lots of things come to mind when I am without the kids. I hope that Little Man will be able to remember those good times and remember our "family times" I always tried to be sure they both had fun experiences and lots of family time - until the last couple of years when our lives were taken over by therapy appts.

I wish we could have made it work, I wish we could have communicated more, I wish Princesses issues were taken on by both of us instead of resting on me. I wish my kids didn't have to go through this at all.
