Samantha went down for a snuggle and a nap just now, very early for her but she seemed to want it. I lay the purple and red velvet blanket on top of the sheet and her pink and grey quilt on top of her. She tucks her knees under her tummy, wiggles her butt a bit, then reaches up behind her and grabs the quilt and tucks it in around her. Then she wriggles her butt again and croons herself to sleep. I try not to disturb her as I watch her routine. She is a sweet girl and makes me very happy.

I realized I should thank my brother and sister for being such good kids, because if they had been bad, Mom would have never dared to have a third. Thanks Alan and Patty!
