Tonight

The scene: bedtime at The 147; approximately 7:30.

I put Lydia down at 7:00 and proceeded to help EB with her teeth and read books. Around 7:30 we assumed it was safe to go into the room and for EB to get into bed. As soon as we entered, Lydia's head popped up. Uh oh. I tried to remain unseen with no luck.

Lydia: dada dada daaaaaaada
Me: (to EB in a whisper) shhhhhh. Maybe if we're really still she'll go back down.
EB: (to me in a whisper) ok
Lydia: daaaaaaada daaaaaaada daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

So I went over to Lydia's crib and gave her a hug then sat down beside it so she would calm down. The next thing I knew EB was out of bed singing a lullaby.

After it was over EB asked, "did it work?"

So sweet!

(And yes it worked; Lydia closed her eyes just like the song says)
