The Rose

Last night I had to work late, so James was in charge of solo dinner/bedtime routine chez Cart.

The kids have been going to bed later and later (they are SO ours, night owls that they are). We’ve been trying to have them asleep before 9:30pm, but even that seems a struggle.

He was rotating between a series of mellow tunes, and began singing “The Rose” by Bette Midler (I KNOW! Dying from adorable over here). Sunny suddenly began to cry. James stopped and asked what was wrong assuming it was going to be claims of dehydration (despite 8 prior cups of water) or a need to urinate (despite 8 recent trips to the toilet) or ya know, sleeping is hard hashtagpreschoolproblems.

Her: Daddy, that song is just so beautiful that it makes me cry.

Apologies to Addison’s future partner, we have confirmation, she is indeed her mother’s daughter.
