BG goes to costco with dada

Clare left Baby Guy in the van. Oops. Then dad left for Costco. Double oops. And it's nap time. I'm holding my breath. I explain to the big girl that Baby Guy wanted to go to Costco and Dada said yes because BG took a nap in the car when we went into craft time at Lakeshore. With a sad and brave face, we head upstairs. We get Bitty Baby and Hello Kitty and climb into bed. We sing a few songs and turn on the mushroom light and we do our best. We text Dada to let him know what happened and we lay quietly in the dark thinking about how tender we feel about all this. And then the phone buzzes. It's an email from Dada. She's still giggling. I can hear her from here. It is a rare and wonderful man that will shop with a dolly in his cart for the sweet, tender sake of his daughter. I love that man.
