Daddie's Girl

So Random's never been a Daddie's girl.  Until now.  I think it's because I've been so involved with her lately, taking her to and from day care, playing more with her, and when Nic was so sick, bathing her and putting her to bed.

We have a new bathtime routine now.  We listen to Justin Roberts's "Great Big Sun" CD on the iPhone (still the single greatest device I've ever purchased).  We sing along to the title track first, then listen to "If you got 1", singing along and holding up our fingers as we count up to five with the song.  When we start listening to the third song, "Everything Else Starts with E", we get washed up.

After that, we dress her, take her in and rock her in the rocking glider in her room to get her calmed down.  When she reaches for the bed, she's done.  We pop in her Razzbaby teether, which she's taken to since we took away the bottles, and down she goes.  Cover her up and turn on her crib music.  Most nights, it's as easy as that.

This Mommie can attest that it's not that easy through the night though.  She's been waking up a lot, with all the illnesses.

But still, I'm happy that my little Pobbes is coming to me more and more.  I'm glad to be able to play with her more, and I'm excited to be part of her bedtime routine now and again.
