"Fee Fee"

It's a nightly ritual. . .

The girls want cold cereal before bed. . .

(And we allow this bad habit because our sleepless daughter does better with a full tummy.)

Inevitably Greta says "Fee Fee"

In Greta-ese that means, "Feed Me."

Then Tessa says "Fee Fee."

Which means "If Greta is being fed, then, by golly, I want to be fed too."

And Tom, being the good Dad that he is, feeds them.

Spoon by spoon by spoon.

Every night.

(And sometimes on Saturday and Sunday mornings (which is when this routine was recorded photographically.)

This nightly practice has come to be known as

"Fee Fee."

Which means in Daddy-ese, "Let's get going to bed."

To Mommy it means, "I love to see this cute little bonding ritual."

And now it is down for the archives of our family memories.

(He is such a good Daddy!)
