ben folds wrote a song for his daughter, gracie. one of the lines in the song, referring to gracie having fallen asleep on his arm, says, “i won’t move you an inch even though my arm’s asleep.” so i can relate. ella and i have been cuddling for the last fifteen minutes or so, my right arm around her little body, and her eyes fixed intently on tivo’d sesame street.
it’s been pretty amazing. we’ve jammed to the soothing tones of india arie singing the abc’s with elmo, we’ve celebrated “baby bear’s” birthday, and shared a bedtime snack of two rice cakes. all the while she has distributed crumbs evenly throughout the bed, and i have blogged with my left hand. she is stalling, trying not to go to bed, andi am letting her.
nothing is better in the whole world.
