Last night we were winding down and you both were cuddled up against me on opposite sides like little tree frogs.We told scary stories about the adventures of Princess Sophia and her sissy Princess Sabi. They were trapped in a high tower by the wicked witch and luckily a dragon bird came to save them with a fishing pole (pooks added this detail). After our stories mommy and pooks sang “Twinkle Stars” to Sabs and pooks tickled her back to help her sleep. We wrapped up with Mommy’s goodnight tradition song:
“Go to sleep, go to sleep, go to sleep little Pookie.
Say goodnight and sleep tight cuz your mommy loves you so.
Goodnight little pookie, little pookie goodnight.
Sleep tight little Pookie, little Pookie sleep tight”
Then repeat it all with Sabi. Then repeat it all with Babies for a united song. Then repeat just humming if they are still awake (and i wonder why i can’t stay up later than these two).
You both zonked out against me and I just laid there staring back and forth at your two little beautiful faces for the next 1/2 hour. You are the most incredible little beings. I snapped this pic after strategically getting up from the middle. Now if only i could bottle up that feeling forever.
