Magic

Elise slept for 12 solid hours last night. 
Therefore, I must recreate the events leading up to this miracle of magnanimous proportions in order for it to happen again.

Dinner will commence promptly at 5:52 and end at 6:19. She will consume a large hunk of salmon, the tips of 12 asparagus (asparagi?), and 8 sweet potato fries. 

Bathtime will begin at 6:45 and shall be inclusive of hair washing. Shampoo will be followed by 3 big and 2 small dumps from the big yellow hair-rinsing bucket. 

She will wear the top to her ladybug pajamas and the bottoms to her giraffe pajamas. 

We will read Biscuit and the Lost Teddy Bear, The Bear Snores On, and Goodnight Moon. I will sing Jesus Loves Me and place her in the crib at 7:11pm. After 3 kisses, reciprocal Night-nights, and a nosey-nosey through the crib bars, I will depart the room. 

And if I do everything just exactly right, surely the magic will happen again.
