Nights Like Tonight

Evie spent most of the day avoiding taking a nap. She slept in much later than normal today so I got time to take a shower while she snoozed away. When she woke up she was in a great mood, ready for the day to start. She happily let me dress her and tuck her into the car seat so we could go to the bank and grocery shopping.
At the grocery store, she greeted all of the employees with shy smiles and giggles. She wooed the florist, the deli clerk and the Starbucks barista. We met up with Daddy, who carried her around the store while we shopped.
At home, she wanted to move move move! She wouldn't tolerate being held even for a moment and refused to go down for a nap for most of the afternoon. She was all over the living room, attempting to pull up on the coffee table and rolling way too close to the vents where I was certain she'd hit her head. By the time she finally settled, her nap was a short one. She woke up within 20 minutes.
We had company, my best friend Molly, in the evening. Evie spread her joy to Molly and snuggled up with her in bed for a real nap.
They didn't know I took this til later.
After they woke up, they hung out and enjoyed each other's company until Molly had to leave. 
For the rest of the night Evelyn has been in this wonderful and giggly mood. Everything is fun. We are snuggling, rolling on the floor and exchanging tickles. She decided to pick a record from the shelf (and it matched her shirt, funnily enough). 


Told you!
Nights like tonight make me so happy. I have all I need in life!
