I'm thankful for our nightly routines. I always sing Lauren a lullaby, kiss her goodnight and then pause at the door so she can say, "See ya later alligator!" I respond, "After while crocodile!" And then, lately, her riff on blowing me a kiss is: "Hey Mom, I've gotta a big heart-shaped ball and I'm throwin' it at ya. Oh, I missed! Haha, no I didn't, I gotcha! With a curveball! I love you!"
