Your artwork is beautiful! And yes this was definitely me…. most nights I’d tiptoe into my parents room. My younger daughter was the same. I like to think it’s the creative imaginations we have!

Oh this reminds me of my struggles getting to sleep as a child, and even now as an adult. And that little soft toy fort <3 I used to surround them around my entire bed and give each one a turn under the blanket every night, making sure everyone gets their turn so they wouldn't argue. Now I just roll around with an achey neck and back! Thanks for sharing this!

Love this post — really sweet drawings. My daughter liked it too and thought it was endearing, that little foot sticking out of the blanket. My mother patted me to sleep while I worried about running into Frankenstein’s monster or Dracula in the dark hallway at night.

Watched too much television, haha.

I snuggle my kiddo to sleep every night even tho she’s probably getting a bit old. And if she comes to me at night I go back to her bed with her since she’s too big to fit all three of us in ours now. I also struggled and my dad would snuggle with me until I felt better. I know what it feels like to have trouble sleeping, and I never want her to feel alone when I am so close and she is still so young and the world is such a scary place.

Look sometimes I am grouchy and grumbly but I do my best.

Oh, my daughter is just like you! I can hear her think... it's like a never stopping engine! She also sleeps great with us. Well, now that I think of it, she hasn't come to visit in a while... she also loves plushies, and sleeps with tons of them. Lovely comic, as usual! The world is certainly worrying right now. We need a huge plushie, or something.
