Last night was one of those great moments ...I was putting the girls to bed and Robert got home early from work, so he took Lanie for me. Robert works evenings so i don't usually get to spend alone time with Abby getting her down for the night. Usually it's sing a couple songs fast before Lanie starts screaming. i sing two songs... one real one, and another real song but with the second verse made up with Abby in it. Abby loves this, and actually i love it, too. i really love when, as i'm walking away to turn off the lights, she starts making up a verse about me.
Well, Abby was ULTRA tired since we were out too late. i knew she'd have a hard time settling down to sleep. Since Robert had Lanie, i decided to sing her to sleep. I sat next to her bed, rubbing her back, and just kept singing and singing and singing. i stopped when i thought she was asleep enough, but then i heard a little whispered voice say.. "sing one more, mom. Please." How could i resist.... so i sang three more.
