Nightly Stress; Is my child happy enough

Today was a really mellow day, and by even saying that I am exaggerating. We slept in and stayed in most of the day since we are both getting over colds. I'm blaming by overly anxious traits that I have always had but tonight while I write this I'm watching Boston sleep and I go over the questions I ask myself nearly every evening at the end of the day.... "Did Boston have a good enough day?"... "Was she happy enough?"... "Did she learn enough?"... "Did I tell her I love her enough?"... "Did she eat healthy enough?''''

I go over these types of questions every night while I try to fall asleep and I am pretty certain I am not the only mom that loses sleep over this same thing. It's overwhelming to make sure that another human is content, fed well, progressing and happy...It's even more overwhelming when it is a person who you care about so much.

I have learned the last few years that the toys can be put away later, bedtimes can sometimes be a little later and bubble baths can a little longer when you are having fun because some moments are priceless that you just can't ever get back. 

We have had a good week with family and we are excited for some fun things we have coming up so I have been slacking on blog posts. This was just my little stress for the night... maybe it's my resolution for the new year because it seems like one I will constantly be able to work on and not give up on by mid January; being content/satisfied that my daughter is getting all of the joy and experiences out of life that I can give her.
