Chicken Houses

Emma:

Before bed, you like to lay next to me and sing/recite every song and nursery rhyme that my tired mommy brain can come up with. You know the words to a surprising number of them and catch on quickly to the ones that are new by parroting the last words in each line. 

Then you like to play with my hair. You ask for two pieces of mommy hair and then for a screwdriver (sometimes two) so I give you imaginary screwdrivers and you're very excited. Then you twist my hair in your little hands while informing me that you are making a chicken house or sometimes a duckie house and then you ask me to look at it, even though it's at the back of my head and there's no way for me to see. But I always tell you that you've made a beautiful chicken house and you are very pleased with yourself.
