Daddy Hold IT!

A routine has developed at our house. It is a night time routine. When 7:30pm rolls around we say "Christian is it time to go night-night." Then he starts looking around for his blanket (sounds like dank-it) and his pillow. Then he starts saying night-night firehouse, night-night dump trucks, night-night kitty, and on and on. Then are we head to his room he says "Mommy hold IT!" Which means Mommy pick me up and carry me to bed. Well sometimes we ask "Daddy hold it?" to which he answers "NO!, Mommy Hold it." Yes it melts my heart that I get to "hold it". Then we head into his room and we have a family hug. I hold Christian and Daddy hugs us both and we give Christian lots of kisses, which we get some in return. Then he gets put into bed to go to sleep. A nice routine.

Well last night Daddy and Aunt Sassy were busy loading furniture, so I took Christian outside to them to say good night. Aunt Sassy got a kiss and so did Daddy. And he said goodnight to them numerous times as we walked back into garage heading back into the house. Just about this time Christian realized that Daddy wasn't going to be in his room to say goodnight and just as we stepped to the garage door Christian said "Daddy Hold IT!"

It was cute because Daddy quickly told Aunt Sassy he would be right back. The "Daddy Hold It!" has lots of power because they are rarer than the "Mommy Hold IT!'s". So I know it must have melted Daddy's heart too to hear it.
