The Lollipop Snatcher

Mr. Stannix had to work late again tonight. We missed him at bed time. After baths were had I snuggled Hyrum up in the big green chair while he drank his bottle. I enjoyed watching him curl his little toes and rub his feet together as he snuggled in. Finally, I couldn't help myself and I gently touched and rubbed his little toes and the bottoms of his little feet. They are always so soft after bath time. He cuddled into his crib when he was finished and fell asleep. Camilla and I enjoyed banana splits and read stories before bed. I had to laugh when I walked into the living room with my banana split to join Camilla on the couch. She had taken a dish cloth that was folded on the couch and placed it carefully between her legs and placed her bowl on top so that she wouldn't spill on the couch. That's my girl, always thinking. After stories, she took a heat bag up with her to warm her up.

Daddy came home a half hour later. It wasn't long before little feet were heard coming down the stairs. We walked out of the kitchen to a petite little blonde sitting on the last step with a big smile on her face. "I'm not tired at all, Daddy," she said. He scooped her up and told her how much he missed her. She replied, "I missed you too Daddy". I stood at the kitchen, trying to hide my lollipop behind the wall. She caught me....

"Is that a loo-dee-pop, Mum?"

"Huh? Oh, Yes."

"Can I see it?" 

Her eyes lit up at the pink lollipop with yellow swirls. Daddy scored it for me the other day as a peace offering. 

"Can I lick it?"

I shared a little taste with my girl. How could I not? She was so cute. 

"Mmm. Can I HOLD it?"

Mr. Stannix and I both burst out laughing and I surrendered my lollipop to my blonde haired, blue eyed girl. 

After some cuddle time with Daddy, it was time to head back up to bed, because the sun had gone to sleep behind the roof tops. It was much too late for a little girl to be awake. After she was all tucked in, I happily finished the rest of my "loo-dee-pop".
