A few weeks ago Gillian watched me get ready for work. She saw that I put on perfume after I was dressed. She asked “What’s that?” I explained that it was perfume and that it makes you smell good. She kept staring at me, so I asked “Do you want some?” She nodded and I sprayed a little on her wrists. I showed her how to rub her wrists together and told her to that she now smells wonderful. She smiled big and asked Daddy “Do I smell good?” Daddy said “You smell amazing!” The next morning she woke up, got dressed and went into my room and stood next to my dresser staring at my perfume. I asked “Do you want to wear some today? Which one?” She picked out one and we both wore that perfume.
It has become our morning ritual. After getting dressed, she picks out a perfume and we both wear that scent. It’s a simple little thing, but it’s our thing.
