Bunny and other Tales



came bedtime tonight and the girls were getting relaxed and thinking about sleep when Morghan realized she wanted her "Confetti", her stuffed bunny of various colors. So I searched the downstairs, behind and in and around and Lanny finally asked Morghan and I what we were looking for. When we told him, he still didn't know but when we told him the bunny's name was Confetti, he said, "Confetti?" CON fetti? Around supper time he remembered Madeline saying something like, "Confetti, I hate you, Confetti!" and she went on about her business but Lanny didn't remember what she did or where she went next.

So I go to Madeline and she's about asleep and I tell her PaPa heard her say she hated Confetti and she tried to tell me where he was. Somewhere from "the paper drawer" and far back. So I think I know and go look in the hall cupboards as there is a stash of paper in there. No luck. Morghan thinks she might know and looks somewhere else. No luck, no Confetti.

We go back to Maddie again but we are gentle as we don't want her to get her second wind. We want her to sleep in the bed and not end up on the davenport again and she says "table" but not the one we eat at and "by PaPa" and again, way back somewhere! So off we go again to look and finally Morghan finds Confetti in the drawer of the coffee table and she hugs him and carries him to bed. As she crawls in, I hear her say "thank you, Maddie" and soon both sweet girlies are sound asleep.

"Thank you, Maddie" . . .

I know! That got me too -- Morghan thanked Madeline and was NOT mad at her. Just relieved to have her confetti again.
