Rebecca likes "times." Very often, she asks us what time it is and is completely satisfied once she knows. In addition to the hours of the day, however, there are also three other times of the day. "Sneepy time" is when we're getting ready for bed even if Rebecca has no intention of falling asleep anytime soon. "Nunch time" is any time it is time to eat, regardless of whether it is breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Most importantly though, is "happy time." Rebecca will ask us, "Is it happy time?" Basically, "happy time" is any time of day after she's fully awake and is not getting ready to go to sleep.
Happy time is often accompanied by the reading of many, many stories, the same ones of which Rebecca never tires. I wonder how many times Ramy reads the nursery rhyme book to her. She has certain nursery rhymes that she likes, and she skips through the pages and picks out the ones she wants us to read to her. If you start reading one that was not of her selection, she will cut you off in mid-sentence, say "no, no, no" and turn the page to one of the nursery rhymes of which she approves. Rebecca then joins in with a dramatic recitation of the nursery rhymes.
Every night is "happy time" in the Cisneros house!
