Lullabys to my Uncle Grandpaw

At around 11:15 every night, my Uncle Grandpaw calls me on the phone to speak to me and my brothers, and sometimes to my daddy too.

When Uncle Grandpaw is ready to go to sleep, I ask if he's "lying in the B, airing out his T, and happy to be speaking to me, his grandson Bloomie".   (B stands for buffo, and T stands for tuche).

Most of my lullabies are variations of:

"There once was a little bear named Howie, who was as cute as can be.  ..........  I love to sit on my Grandpaw's chest, because my Uncle Grandpaw is he best".

After the lullaby, I give my daddy a snout kiss.  He puts his snout (nose) next to the phone and then I give him a very long juicy kiss.   Uncle Grandpaw loves my snout kisses, I can tell.   I like my Uncle Grandpaw to go to sleep with a smile on his face from "bear to bear". 

Uncle Grandpaw then wishes me a good snooze, Bloom a good day (Bloom is nocternal) and makes sure Sweedie is wearing his hat.

I love my Uncle Grandpaw, and I know he loves me toooooooooooooooo!

Below is a picture of my Uncle Grandpaw (well, it looks a bit like him).
