2.20.16 - Reading to Clara and Rocket

Tonight I was reading to Clara while Rocket was getting ready for bed, and he asked if he could listen to some stories too, so I said "sure." Clara and I were just "reading" her 100 First Words book, which is really just her looking at the pages and pointing, so I just let her keep doing that while Rocket got ready. He asked how many stories I had left to read and I told him at least four and I said I'd wait for him, and he very very quickly changed into his pajamas while he recapped how he has already brushed his teeth and taken his allergy medicine.

Then he crawled into bed with us and sat next to me with his head on my shoulder. Very sweet. Clara was sitting in my lap and resting against my belly. I read them Toot, King Bidgood's in the Bathtub, Blueberry Girl, Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, and It's a Wonderful World. They both seemed to enjoy it, I certainly did. At the end Rocket went to his room, then came back down the hallway to give me a hug. <3

Later, after I put Clara to bed, Rocket called to me to tell me he might just stay awake all night. I said that was fine as long as he stayed in his bed. Sure enough he was asleep in 15 minutes or less, haha.

Clara "reads" to me.
