You are my sunshine

Tonight, Ashley and I were doing our normal put Eden to bed routine - in her room on her bed reading books and getting hugs. Eden went to climb on Ashley who was resting so I said, "Eden, Mommy is asleep. Can you wake her up?" Eden leaned toward Ashley and touched her nose {we taught her to either kiss or touch your nose to "wake" you up}. Ashley responded, "Hi baby!" and Eden smiled. Then she looked at me and pushed my face into the pillow. The same for Ashley.
This new game started a week or so ago. Here is a reinactment.
After touching our noses and telling us to go back to sleep by pushing our chins to the pillow numerous times, we started to "wake up" and sing "Good Morning to You" {sung to the tune of "Happy Birthday"}. Apparently she liked it because she wanted us to sing more. We did - this time it was "You are My Sunshine" even though we only knew the one verse. Apparently she really likes that song. We had to sing it over and over and over and over ...
There we were, both lying on the bed with Eden sitting between us in her diaper saying "Mo', mo', mo' " {toddler-speak for more please} and twirling her arms in the air while we sang.
Ashley nearly cried.
