Bedtime

This is what it looks like most nights as we do bedtime for Emily. Depending on her mood or whether she had a bath that night or not, some nights she starts in her pj's when we come into her room. When we come in, Daddy reads Emily a story or 2. Every now and then I read one of them, but most of the time I get to sit and listen or put away some of Emily's laundry. Emily usually starts out listening and looking intently. She loves to grab at the book and turn the pages. Then she moves herself so that she is lying across Greg and will put her thumb in her mouth. It doesn't matter how often Greg moves her back, Emily moves across Daddy like in the pictures. It must be comfy for her. After her story, she usually stands up at the ottoman and plays for a few minutes. She loves to stand there. Then we change her diaper and put her jammies on if they aren't already. Then a bit of a nursing from me and into bed. Recently, she has started fussing a bit when she's done nursing. She knows that she's tired and settles down as soon as she gets in her crib. How funny, we've been fortunate enough that Emily has a positive view of sleeping and her crib and she is thrilled to go down when she is tired. And then it is off to dreamland till the morning!
