After supper Friday, Reid asked to be excused and went straight up to her bedroom. I asked Ken if he knew why and he said he didn’t know but it would be useful to be able to reproduce the effect. I called up to ask if everything was okay and Reid said, “Yes. Princess Dolly and I are lying in bed.” Ken and I tidied up from supper and then went upstairs and took turns snuggling and reading for about an hour. Okay, okay. I cleaned up for a bit and then left Ken to finish while I gathered books off of the living room bookshelf and began reading. Ken had to abandon his turn because his voice gave out - gotta love bronchitis - and I got an extra-long turn. Finally, Reid used the bathroom, brushed her teeth and went to sleep. Does this not sound like an ideal Friday evening?
