Living Arrows 12/52 - Sleeping mask and unicorns or sleeping like 5 year-old diva

“You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth”

I shared a little clip of Amy on my Insta stories the other week and so many people commented on Amy sleeping with a sleeping mask. I know it might look funny, but my little diva loves a good sleeping mask. She’s been using it for a little over a year and started with it completely out of the blue.

Okay, she had seen them on telly before but she had never used one. Then, we were on one of our girly shopping trips, stepped into Tiger and it was love at first sight. Amy saw it, had to have it and ever since then, she sleeps with her fluffy pink sleeping mask. While it might look, like she’s a 5-year-old diva, I think it’s utterly adorable.

Every night, when I go to check on Amy before going to bed myself, I find her snuggled up with her stuffed seal or unicorn, her sleeping mask on and a soft snoring sound traveling through her bedroom. It’s the most peaceful image ever and probably one of my favourite moments of the day. It’s when everything is quiet and I see Amy lying in her big bed that I’m really aware that she’s still a little girl, no matter how fiercely independent and adventurous she is throughout the day. What’s your favourite mummy or daddy moment of the day?
