Night-time Routine

The bed time routine that Penelope and I have right now is too cute (at least from my perspective) not to comment on. After we get our PJs on and read some books, we turn out the light and sing a song together. Either I hold her and we sway a bit as I stand, or I hold her as we rock in the rocking chair in her room. Either way, there is only one song that will do these days: Baa Baa Black Sheep. It's not glamorous and not a song we taught her (she learned it at daycare), but man is she loyal to it. It is amazing how much this routine seems to mean to her right now. And I have to say, I love it too. In part because it is just a sweet thing that we share, and in part because it makes her so happy that she goes to sleep without a single cry or complaint.
