tonight after dinner the girls were eating dessert (peaches) on the couch and watching a show as i finished up the dishes. when i walked over to survey the damage and wipe hands, makena, who was sucking her thumb and clutching old baby and blankie by this point, looked at me and calmly stated, "i tired." so, I asked her if she wanted to go upstairs to which she nodded and said emphatically "yes," and then wanted me to carry her up (she normally wants to walk herself, or rather, be chased by a monster - a game we do every night to get the girls excited about going upstairs). bath, short story, lights out and in to bed she went. no snuggling, nothing. as soon as the lights went out, she climbed out of my lap, into bed and said "i love you too. goodnight."
