Daddy’s Eye

The little princess had grown used to the nightly routine:

Her Daddy would get home from work and she would cuddle on his lap for a good half hour.

Then they would make dinner together and talk about the day.

After that, they would go for a walk.  And then they’d watch a little TV together.

At 8pm, she received her bath.  Her Daddy would dress her for bed and then feed her a night time bottle as he sat on the nursery room rocking chair, cradling her across his lap while reading her a bed time story.

Some nights, she fell asleep before he was done with the story.  Other nights, he read her two stories before she got sleepy.  Still other nights, he put her in her crib, giving her another bottle of warm milk because she just wasn’t sleepy yet.

But the more she delayed her bed time, the smarter her Daddy got.  He set up a baby monitor system in her nursery so he could hear if she was still awake.  And he also set up a little camera to see if she was trying to sleep or if she was playing.

And her Daddy told her that the little camera would always be watching.  So she needed to be a good baby, even when he wasn’t in the room.

That camera she began to refer to as Daddy’s Eye – because it always watched her to make sure she was okay.
