For quite some time now part of our nighttime routine with Miss C has been to talk about her day. I started doing it before she really even knew what I was talking about. It's a time when I tell her all the positive things she's done all day and to praise the behaviors we want her to continue. We are at a point now where Miss C can articulate parts of her day and is also insisting we talking about Miss R's day too.
Last night at bedtime I pretended like I was her. I curled up on her bed and said, "talk about my day" to see what she would do in response. She covered me up and got all the babies in her bed situated and then goes, "So today.." and began telling me about how I drove home, ate dinner, packed her stuff for her visit to Nana and Papa's, etc.
It was funny to hear her say "so today" and I realized that is how I start every one of our nightly conversations about her day. It was super cute and interesting to hear what she said about my day.
After that she read me a book (a baseball book about the Reds) and sang me Take Me Out to the Ball Game. Then she laid down next to me and we cuddled on her bed with her patting my hair.
I am leaving tomorrow to go out of town until Wednesday. It will be longest time I have ever been away from either of my girls. It was nice to have that special moment with C. I love that girl.

Firsts
Today Miss R has her first tooth. She's been pretty fussing and drooling all over the place so we knew it was coming. And whoop...there it is. I'll get a picture soon. In the mean time here are some others of her showing off her skills.
