The Transfer

Dylan and Noel share a room; it is one of the awesome perks of living in a duplo. But, we can’t put them to bed in the same room because plum will see her brother and bounce around her crib all night. She is her brother’s biggest fan, even though he doesn’t share. Because of our amazing living circumstances we put Noel to bed in our room. This allows her to cry it out without disturbing the neighbors. What can I say it’s a win win. Cub gets to sleep cuddling his glow worn and cars while Plum exercises her opinion in another room.

There is one thing about this situation that I just love. It is what Corbet and I call “the transfer”. When Corbet gets home from work at night he takes Plum from our room to hers. There are few things that warm my heart more than seeing my husband so gently pick up our sugar plum, rock her, kiss her and look at her as if he has never seen anything so beautiful. He doesn’t rush “the transfer”; I can tell it’s the best part of his day. It doesn’t matter how tired he is or how ready for bed he is, the transfer is sacred.

Kung Fu grip on that bottle...
