Lullabyes

The child is obsessed with the cat.  I can't tell if we're adding years to her life, or taking them away at this point...

A few days ago, he had played with her so continuously all morning that she was exhausted.  Even the child noticed.  He thought I should hold her for a nap.  I was making lunch.  So he decided to put her to bed.  Under the covers.  Surrounded by his mouse collection (both hand sewn and garnered from the pet store around the corner), while singing his favorite song (the instrumental theme song to Harry Potter) and simultaneously blasting it beside her from the computer.  As he came to lunch, he pulled the door, quietly, shut, so she could get some shut eye.  "She really looked exhausted, Mama."  Gee, I wonder why.... ;)
