Legend has had the same bedtime routine since he was 5 months old: Bath, Body lotion, Teeth, Story, Song and cuddle, then bed. The older he gets, the more reliant he seems on his routine and on his special blanket and bear.
Tonight, I pull his blanket up so it just touches the left side of his face, just how he likes it. I lean down and kiss him and say "Goodnight", like every other night in the last year and a half. But tonight, he is not satisfied.
"Bear", he says, in a pitiful little voice. He struggles to get bear under the blanket with him. So I tuck bear in too, and give Legend a second kiss goodnight for good measure.
"Bear. Kiss."
Me - "Goodnight Bear." Kiss. "Goodnight my little man." Kiss.
A perfect little moment to finish a perfect, fun mom and son day.
