My favorite part of the day is when we start your bedtime routine. I get your pajamas, make your bottle, pick out a book, get your lotion and new diaper ready. Your dad gets the bath ready. I get you naked and take you in there. I hold you in the water so you do not slide in and your daddy does all the washing and scrubbing. You watch him and give him your biggest smiles you have. You two have this bond that I cannot explain. After the bath, your dad and I alternate turns on reading you a bedtime story and feeding you a bedtime bottle. When it is your dad's turn I am never far away. Sometimes I stand discreetly around the corner and listen to your story as your dad reads. As I stand there I listen to everything he tells you. It just hits me in such a deep special way to listen to him explain the pictures to you and ask you questions even though we all know you cannot answer yet. It is moments like this that make me take the time to reflect on what an amazing dad he is.
