Today after Violet woke up from her nap I crawled into bed with her, pulling the quilt over our heads. "We're little bunnies," I told her quietly. "And we're in a little bunny hole, deep in the earth."
"Bunnies in hole!" she exclaimed, going to grab her purple stuffed bunny and crawling back under the covers. "Bunny hole! Hop hop! Hop hop!"
We nestled together, our legs entertwined. "And we can hear all the noises all around our bunny hole," I told her. The hiss of the radiators. The ocean wave noise machine. Violet's steady in and out breathing. She looked at me and whispered "Baby bunny," crinkling her noise and smiling her #1 best smiley smile, the one that makes my heart feel literally like it is throbbing with love. We snuggled, two warm bunnies. I was as happy as I'd ever been in my entire life, feeling her chest rising and falling, breathing in her sweet breath.
On another note, I made the most incredible dinner. Pinto beans with bacon and mushrooms, collard greens, and these crazy popover things that puffed up like big bubbles. Mmm. Even Violet couldn't complain, but she still did.
