Jess thought it would be better if we turned off the music and she just sang to me. For anyone familiar with the song "Book of Mormon Stories", here's her new spin. "Long ago their fathers swam from far across the sea..." Wow! I wonder if Michael Phelps is a direct descendant!
Wrapped in a fleece blanket, Jess transformed herself into Princess Hot Spoiled, and I was given the honor of being her prince, Prince Roof. Eventually, as all good princes do, I proposed marriage. We had been playing for quite a while and was hoping to wrap the whole thing up in a nice happily-ever-after sort of way...denied!!! She told me she was going away for 10 days because her father said I didn't love her enough. " I need to find a prince who loves me to China." Eventually she conceded to the marriage (because she needed to help me finish the dishes). As she's exiting to put the blanket back she says, " I lied to you. I'm not really leaving for 10 days, just for one. You'll be okay without me for that long." I'm thinking as long as you're back before the dish water gets cold, I'm good with it!

You are such a great Mom! I look up to you so much. Sometimes it's hard to take time out from the things that "Need" to get done and play with our kids. I don't do it enough but I can see that you are helping Jesse so much by giving her that extra time.
