Self-Cleaning Oven

For the last few nights, Charlotte does her own bedtime routine.  She reads her books to herself in her own chair.  She sings her own lullibies. She runs to the top of the stairs to shout goodnight to Emily.  Then she runs to the crib and waits for me to put in the crib.  I just sit in the chair and watch, keeping her on track.

Here she is reading her books to herself.  Charlotte's cousin, Hannah, will notice that for her last book, Charlotte chose Maribelle, one of Charlotte's birthday presents from Hannah and her parents.
