Mommy Time

When David has to work late I try to do something special with Bee so she doesn't focus on missing her father. Tonight, after dinner we skipped Bee's nightly bath and played beauty salon. Afterward, we had a "princess and teddy bear" story time.

The magic formula:

One Limoges plate fit for a princess.

Two butter cookies.

Two teddy bears.

Two new storybooks, "Corduroy" and "Bear Snores On."

Never mind that my comforter is now covered in crumbs, that her royal highness wasn't content with just two stories, and that she didn't want to go to bed afterward.  The drama of being two years old is continuous, but the happy little moments spent snuggled together reading a good book are the ones that matter.
