Bedtime

Last night I was tucking Kate into bed (snug as a bug in a rug). I was singing her "Goodnight My Someone" from The Music Man (you shut-up, I like that play!) and she was touching my face and hair like she always does when I sing her a song. Right in the middle of her goodnight song she interrupted me and said "I love you mommy". Walking down the stairs after that, grinning ear to ear, all I could think was - where will we put the pony?
