Going to bed

Every night before bed we do the same routine. First we brush my teeth. I sit on the counter in the big bathroom, watching myself in the mirror while we brush. It usually starts out as "mommy's turn" then is "my turn". I don't enjoy it much, but I like the taste of the toothpaste. Then we read books, usually 3. I like to pick them out, but if I take too long Mommy just picks them out for me. She likes "Snuggle up little one". After we read, we turn on some music, turn out the lights, and "cuddle, chair", cuddle on the rocking chair beside my crib. Either with Mommy or Daddy. Last night I picked Daddy. I then tell them about my day. "Play. Play twucks. " etc. Then we cuddle. Last night I snuggled in on Daddy's lap, belly to belly, with my head under his chin, and we just cuddled. We didn't say anything, just rocked in the dark, feeling warm and snuggly. Daddy held me a long time, two songs worth, before laying me in my crib. I think it is because tomorrow he works all day and won't see me until supper time. I think he misses me on those days.
