Role reversal

Sometimes Poppy likes to pretend to put me down for a nap. Unlike “Squish Mommy” — in which she squashes my faces — I like this game quite a bit. First, Poppy says, “Mommy lay down!” and points to the couch. While I’m getting comfortable, she runs to her room for a blanket. “Spread the blankie on Mommy” comes next. Then Pi sings a lullaby (culled from an Elmo story) while I close my eyes. If I try to get up during any of this, she uses one little finger to gently push my head back onto the pillow. It’s the best game ever.
