I LOVE this! What gorgeous rhythm and woven rhymes. What a sweet sentiment. This would kill as spoken word.

This is the sweetest. My daughter is now 14, but just last night we were talking about how, when she was three, I lay down with her every night on her tiny toddler mattress and held her hand as she fell asleep. I remember at the time having "preemptive nostalgia" - that sense of already missing the present moment. This bit of writing captures that sense so well.
