i love the conversations that macy and i are having lately. here’s tonight’s bedtime exchange:

macy: ball? where is it?

mommy: the ball went night-night. it’s sleeping. you can play more tomorrow.

macy: ball is sleeping?

mommy: yes, the ball is sleeping. night-night, ball.

macy: ball is sleeping. night-night, ball.

somebody recently bought her a doll cradle (okay, okay, it was me. i promise she’s not spoiled!) and she loves to put her baby down for the night in it. for some reason, this baby always sleeps on her tummy and must be covered head-to-toe with the blanket. and then we must discuss how “baby is sleeping” for at least 5 minutes. every night. good times! (i secretly love it, and i love our time together every night before bed.)
