Millie's grandparents are visiting. Millie's grandmother was reading her the bedtime stories. After stories, usually Millie's dad will start the lay down routine. He was waiting in the wings in our room listening for the end of story time and the brushing of teeth.
While he was waiting he decided to try out a new speaker docking station that he had just purchased to see how it did playing the music off his cell phone. Millie's grandmother was bringing Millie to the bathroom to brush teeth.
Following the music, she ran past the bathroom and poked her head into our room, tentatively. She looked over at her father with a questioning look, not sure if she would get into trouble for delaying the brushing of teeth or not. Daddy, waved her in though and she happily scooted over to him. "Can I sit on your lap?" He said she could. Then the song changed to Raffi's "He's got the whole world in his hands".
By the end of the song, she started clapping to the tune and rocking along with daddy. When it was over Daddy turned off the music. She turned to him and hugged him and said, "You are the most favorite grown-up I've ever seen." "I love you too, Millie." he replied. Then off they went happily to brush teeth and settle down for the night.
Around the bend in the river.

OMG! Now I know that Ellie says some cute things but this is just unbelievable. That has to be the sweetest thing I've ever heard. Millie's Daddy is one lucky man to have been told something so wonderful.
