Drew plays a trick on Rachel

Drew hid Nemo, Rachel's stuffed lion, under his shirt tonight as he put Rachel to bed. He was pretending that Nemo had decided he wanted to stay downstairs instead of sleeping with her. When she became distressed, Drew reached under his shirt and pulled Nemo out.

"Daddy, you played a trick on me!" Rachel exclaimed. "You RASCAL!"

Drew's take: "I tell ya, listening to those Laura Ingalls Wilder books on CD will give Rachel the best 19th century vocabulary of any kid in Northern Virginia."
