Feeling the baby move

She felt Logan move on several occasions before, although the experiences haven't flinch her much, but last night Chloe finally showed interest in feeling the movement of the baby.

I really miss Chloe sleeping with me, so when she crawled into our bed at 4:30am this morning, I didn't bother to send her back to her own bed. While Doua slept soundly, Chloe and I just layed in bed and smiled at eachother, enjoying the quiet calm night rarely delivered to us from living on top of a bar. Logan must've sensed our silent joy and joined in with a few kicks and waves. It was a such a beautiful and real moment lying there quietly with my two children. I took Chloe's hand and placed in on top of my belly and as Logan offered up a few hard kicks and rolls, surprised Chloe started giggling and stated, "Mommy, he's saying 'ooh la la'!" I just laughed and replied, "Yes, he is, darling." Chloe then turned back over and after a tiny yawn, she closed her eyes and whispered, "I'm still tired because it's not morning yet." "Then you should go to back to sleep," I said. "Ok, see you in the morning and remember -- don't let the bex bux bite," she said before she wondered back into dreamland. I just smiled again and nodded my head silently at her. These little offerings of joy that our children bring to us -- I don't want them ever to end.
