We have a routine when we put our 3 year old down for the night- she gives her mom and hug and kiss, then me and then she climbs into bed.
Last night? Hug and kiss mom. Hug and kiss dad. Pause at the bed. Pat mom on the head, then dad.
Pause again at the bed. (we exchange looks- wtf?!?)
Rub mom’s shoulder, then dad. Pause. Touch foreheads. Pause. Kiss our hands, then a final pause at the bed.
“I’m just making fun of you guys… because you’re silly.”
