    Bedtime with Chick had me in stitches the other night. It went a little something like this:

    Me: “Now I lay me down to sleep”
    Chick: “Now I way me down to sleep”
    Me: “I pray the Lord our souls to keep”
    Chick: “Pay the Lord our souls to keep”
    Me: “Guide and guard us through the night”
    Chick: “Guide ‘n guard us twoo duh night”
    Me: “And wake us with the mornings light.”
    Chick: “Wake us withuh mornings wite.”
    Me: “Pray a big hedge around…”
    Chick: “Mommy Daddy Caitlin and Jayden AaaaayyyyyyyMEN.”
    Chick: “Oh! And Alexis and Laaayyyyla and Owen. AaaaaayyyyyMEN.”

    Then we do kisses. I get a kiss for me, and one extra on the lips. Then I get more extras, and she turns my head and plants them on my cheek. Every night, I make a different sound effect after each kiss – and that kindof determines how many extra I’ll get. If I’m funny, she’ll keep doing it. If not, I just get a couple. That night, I counted.

    Chick: Muuuah.
    Me: One!
    Chick: Muuuah!
    Me: Two!
    Chick: Muuuuuah!
    Me: Seventeen!
    Chick: No! That’s not right! That’s THREE! Silly banilly!
    Me: Oh okay. Sorry.
    Chick: Let’s start over.
    Me: Okay.
    Chick: Muuuuah!
    Me: One!
    Chick: Muuuuah!
    Me: Two!
    Chick: Muuuaaah!
    Me: Three!
    Chick: Muuuah!
    Me: Thirteen!
    Chick: No that’s FOUR! Here. I’ll count. I’ll show you.
    Me: Okay.
    Chick: Muaaaah! ONE.
    Chick: Muuaaaaaah! TWO.
    Chick: Muuuuaaaah! FOUR.
    Chick: Oh, duuuuuhhh! That’s three. Let’s start over.
    Me: Okay! (giggling uncontrollably)

    She finally got to four, after about 30 kisses. And I needed to get a kleenex to wipe the tears away from laughing so hard. She’s so frappin cute I can hardly stand it!

    So much cuteness! That is too sweet. Sometimes my five year old says “I want to hug you so much I just never want to let go of you.” Gets me all teary just thinkin’ about it.
