Caught Learning

2 books before nap.

That’s what we do.

Today colors and numbers.

Shapes to view too.

So proud of her answers,

“I’m learning!,” she states.

How smart she’s becoming.

Soon time and dates.

Out of the room,

I love you; sleep tight.

I rush to the camera

And here is the sight.

She’s sharing her knowledge

With her baby in bed.

Reading to baby

The things in her head.

The Nap

An eye on the nap.

Apparently not for my baby, instead for hers.

There were blankets. There was cuddling and combing.

When the lotion came out I intervened!

Putting the bottle away, I turned to see the quivering lip; doing anything not to cry.

Instead of walking back out that door, leaving all babies to nap, I took the second seat on the bed.

My arm over her shoulder, I reminded her that we cannot put lotion on those dolls…

…but we can but lotion on mommies!

That put the smile back on her face. We both got a back rub this afternoon…instead of a nap.
