Just Asleep

Long, but not that long, ago, Shannon and I lived in terror of waking Julia up, for she would often take forever to get back to sleep, whether awakened by a sound outside, a cough in the next room, her own tossing and turning, or less.

That's mostly changed now, thanks to the parents' best friend, growing up. A second ago, when I went to open her bedroom door, she woke up, looked at me, and whispered, "I was just asweep." Then she put her head back down, even as I adjusted her sheets, and went back to sweep.
