I woke up this morning to a quiet house. Jeff had already left for work and the kids were still sleeping. I decided to take a few moments for myself and read. As I lay there reading, I thought I heard a door open, which stopped my heart until I remembered that Norah is now able to come out of her room on her own. I decided to just keep reading until she came to find me. Minutes passed by and she didn't come in, and I didn't hear anything else, so assumed that I heard the house settling instead.
Finally I got up. As I entered the hallway, I noticed that her bedroom door was indeed open. I looked inside to find it empty. I continued on, now completely puzzled, and walked into the living room. It was there that I saw her, lying under the coffee table, looking sound asleep.
When I returned with the camera I saw her playing with her hair, so obviously she wasn't sleeping. Upon seeing me, she told me, "I didn't see you." I laughed and hugged her tight while explaining that I had been in my bed. I told her that from now on when she wakes up, she can come look for me in my bed if I'm not in the kitchen or living room.
