"I want to...no I want to...no me...no me"

The best part of the day in our household is bedtime. It hasn't always been this way, but now the job of putting Riley to sleep is coveted by all who have done it recently. For the last couple of weeks he has not fought bedtime he has been ready and if you don't time it right and keep him from getting in bed when he is ready you might get him upset...he will let you know.

When you sit with Riley in the rocking chair and you cradle him he will relax and watch you intently while sucking on his paci. Then when he is ready he will sit up and rollover on your chest. He will bury his head and snuggle in and relax. Then he may look at you for a bit, he may try to give you a zurburt, or he may just get cozy and coo. It is truly the very best part of the day.

The second best part of the day is when I sneak in while he is sleeping and pick him up and just enjoy holding that sleeping baby...I mean toddler. How did I get here?
