She brought me one of the things we had painted so that I could have something to look at while I was sleeping. She turned in the doorway and said sweetly, "Do you have everything you need?" and then she put herself into her own bed. Such a fun age, really.

There's a bear in the house!" When I look at her in mock terror and say, "A bear??!!! You need to tell him that he is NOT allowed on the stairs on the new carpet!" There is such a moment of delighted realization (Game on!) before she goes scampering off to yell in the stairwell. <br /><br />We betended a lot.
