Power Trio

Baby loves to be with mom, and she loves to be with dad. But what she really loves is to be with mom and dad at the same time. She likes to look in one of our faces, and then the other, and then back. Her favorite time to switch her attention between her twin beacons of fascination is bedtime, as was the case tonight. She had been brought into the family bed – not a small one, by the way – by mom; dad was visiting at the foot of the bed to wish baby and mommy sweet dreams before accomplishing a few last things downstairs before joining them. Anyway, baby’s laugh filled the air without provocation, but I tickled her once or twice just for good measure. Mom asked that baby get to wind down, so after only five or six more – super brief – tickle sessions I kissed them both goodnight and left them to their reveries.
