more things i love

Every morning when I go into their bedroom to wake them, Lily is all groggy. She's not much of a morning person. Then when I ask who wants to get dressed first, she sais, "I'm gonna stay in my crib, it's MIA's turn" and lays back down and pulls up her blanket.

Every night while reading books, after we have our "One more book" it's time for hugs and kisses. They both love this time, it's time to lay down flat and make me pick them up and "force" hugs and kisses while they giggle the whole time.. As soon as I say "hugs and kisses" they flop down with this little evil smirk.. it's great.

Lily gets hugs first, then Mia. Every night, as i'm hugging Mia we have the same conversation:

Mia: Mommy?
Me: Yes Mia?
Mia: It's sleepy time.
Me: Yes baby, it's sleepy time.
Mia: Sleepy time.

When I sing at night, Mia has started singing with me. To hear her sing some of my favorite camp songs is heart melting. She sings with me to "Barges", "Rose" and last night she requested "Red Balloon".

Also, they say "I love you" a lot now. Not only back when you say it, but randomly and of their own accord.
