putting my babies to sleep

Well today was a good day. After feeding them with my wife, we brought them upstairs to play where they fussed a little and tina decided to lay down with them and take a nap, and nap did they do, they slept through me leaving for work and then some time after that. When I got home it was time for dinner so I gave them peas and brown rice from earth's best and they absolutely loved it. Katie was making all kinds of noises while eating and she never does that. It made daddy so proud. After mommy gave the girls baths, daddy did something he hardly ever does, and doesn't know why, he put his girls to bed after their bottles. Mommy never gets a night off of this job but her show was on tonight and it's been a tough week for her not feeling the best and working through it at home and going to actual work so I took over for her. I read to the girls to try and relax them and it worked for a bit but katie reeeeeeeeeeally wanted her bottle so she got it and daddy finished the book. Katie finished her bottle first, whined because although she got as much as she always does, it was through a cross-cut nipple so she downed it in no time and since it didn't take an hour for her to finish it, she thought she wasn't getting enough, I gave her her horsey and watched the eyes rolled back in her head and she was out. Mommy came in, gave her a kiss and she was off to bed. Karly took a little longer to drink her bottle but when she was finished, half asleep, I put her in the crib. She whined when I put her in and then cried and before she had a chance to wake up her sister, she was in daddy's arms quickly. I know I shouldn't have done that, but that little girl, both in fact, have daddy wrapped around their fingers. Well Karly got daddy to slow dance her around the bedroom and even sing the song on the radio to her, albeit the song was "Always on my mind" by Willie Nelson, I admit an odd song to sing to one's daughter, but it worked because her eyes drooped, I put her in the crib and haven't heard a peep from her since...It felt good putting my girls to sleep, it's been a while since I have done it, but it won't be that long before I do it again and that's a promise I am making to myself.
