The night started as usual. Jack and Tara, our__41__, were in their small beds surrounded by toy animals. My husband Pat, and I went to sleep__42__.

__43__after midnight，Jack quietly touched me. “ Mommy, I want to stay with you. I promise I won’t take much room(空间).” I shifted(挪)__44__to make room. My son soon fell asleep.

An hour later, Tara cried and I carefully went downstairs.“ Mommy , my__45__is all stuffed up (堵住)．I cant really breathe very well. Will you please__46__with me a little while？” Tara doesn’t often get up at night，__47__I decided to be there for her. She soon fell asleep. I returned to my own bed.

I was determined to sleep. But to my__48__, I found Jack sleeping on my side of the bed. He looked so__49__that I couldn’t remove him. Quietly and carefully, I lay down between_50__and Jack.

I did manage to get some sleep__51__I heard Tara’s voice again. I returned to_52__Tara.“Mom, please lie down with me a little bit. I had a bad dream, and I’m so__53__.”“Of course, honey. It was only a dream. Mommy’s here and__54__is okay.” We fell asleep__55__each other’s arms.

　　 Even in my sleepy state，I thought of_56__these nights of merry­ go­ round 　(一连串的繁忙活动) will be over. __57__before I’ m ready，our children’s rooms will be much too__58__and empty. So it is especially on days when I’m worn out (筋疲力尽) after a night on this mom’s merry­ go­ round that I remind__59__that these very days and nights are, in fact,“ the good old days”, ever so__60__.
