Dancing in the mirror while we sing the blues
Building a indoor tent, making shadow puppet in the light
Read long bedtime story to sleep through the night

Off to the kitchen baking sugar cookies and cupcakes
Blending fruit smoothies and strawberry milkshakes
Making sure we carefully follow Granny’s recipe
How I just love when it’s my daughter and me
